I just had to explain VJ Day to my son. He was amazed as he had no idea that Japan was in WW2. I am astounded by his ignorance. I suggested he might like to read up on it a bit to bridge that gap in his knowledge. He said ' Nah.'
He is currently at university studying to be a secondary school teacher. Readers, coming to a school near you, (and obviously already there) the educators of your children - can't spell, know nothing, and couldn't care less.
This despair set in, not with DS, but at a parent's evening when he was in year seven and I was voicing my concern that he couldn't spell for toffee and his English teacher declared "It's not my job to teach them how to spell."
