Is it against the law now, to 'just not care'?
Several Ppruners will know that after the RAF my main trade was as a primary school Head. I suspect that the vast majority of the 1000 or so darlings that passed through Golf Academy in my time will be able to answer the question, "What was the Battle of Britain?" Remembrance Day was, and is kept respectfully, and the fallen remembered in prayer. VE Day similarly so.
By the time I left, I had 'grandpupils' in the school. What's it supposed to mean for them? Michael Gove et al want the history of the Tudors and Stuarts to feature more prominently (when modern history was in the ascendancy I bet the traditionalists on here were baying for 'proper' history) so the curriculum sways to oblige.
We're on generation number 5. While they are young, it is, to them, ancient history.
Just saying.
