At school we were encouraged to learn and not simply to pass exams!<br /><br />Well, that's my excuse for an embarrassing lack of certificates!<br /><br />It is ironic that in this day of access to unlimited amounts of information, so little is absorbed......Jon Storeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02523447513830779457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-36784771949159307882010-07-10T13:12:41.117+01:002010-07-10T13:12:41.117+01:00Hahaha! *snort* I need say no more!Hahaha! *snort* I need say no more!Brighton Mum-Teenage Angsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093107433174519425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-80543918333750499362010-07-10T11:45:56.952+01:002010-07-10T11:45:56.952+01:00Me again...actually I do agree with ayak...and don...Me again...actually I do agree with ayak...and don't get me started on the school quiz.....libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552884005601003691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-85194222428150195772010-07-10T10:53:05.960+01:002010-07-10T10:53:05.960+01:00I blame the parents *cough*.

Or whether the kids today have different priorities. I don't think they're stupid but maybe they only remember the things they think are important, and maybe knowing where Copenhagen is, doesn't come high on their list? They just seem to be on a totally different wavelength don't they?Ayakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903896106779269050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837862718388354747.post-5665200178469221432010-07-10T00:00:53.125+01:002010-07-10T00:00:53.125+01:00...where is it then?
