Making education more "relevant"

Here's a different way to ensure that your students are paying attention in class — teach 'em how to become terrorists:

Teaching packs entitled 9/11: The Main Chance, which invite pupils to imagine organising a terrorist attack, have been distributed to schools running Nanny's much vaunted citizenship classes.

One worksheet in Nanny's pack asks the pupils to imagine what terrorist targets there are in their neighbourhoods. They have then to suggest what weapons and methods should be used to ensure the most effective results.

The worksheets also contain a number of links to other terrorism-related articles, including one on food terrorism and how fast-food chains could be attacked.

Not content with attacking fast food chains?

Then why not attack our water supply? Another article is headlined "How safe is our water?"

The British education system is clearly working as hard as it can to prepare for the introduction of Sharia law in Britain . . .

But make just one joke about "getting" a teacher and you'll get an education, alright. Posted by: Jon at July 1, 2006 09:50 AM
