Reforming UK Primary School Teaching - Adding Dates+History
The new list must include English spelling+ grammar. If not please add it.
Geography: continents, read maps and Satnav, find countries in the news, ancestors, classmates' origins.
Practical maths: how vacuum cleaners work, use a dishwasher, Run water in waste disposal to prevent solid food blocking drains.
Keep accounts: pocket money in, money spent.
Keep time, file homework papers, tidy room.
Possible careers + skills+exam passes for jobs. I needed Latin A level to study English at London Univ / science A level for psychology.
Music - read music and compose a simple song. Sing in tune: start with happy birthday to you.
Politeness worldwide: Say Please+thank you. Use a hanky to wipe noses. Wash hands before+ after meals. Don't put fingers on food when passing cake slices. No fingers inside cups.Take off shoes or wear overshoes in homes where you sit or pray on the floor or babies crawl.
Languages: (Don't tell me it's confusing to learn other languages. It helps me spell and understand English knowing Latin. I wish I had learned Greek, German, and Spanish. Beggar children in third world countries can ask for money in ten languages. People with multiple borders such as Czech republic speak up to 8 languages. The Scandinavians who speak languages nobody beyond their border can speak, means they have to be near-fluent in at least one other language, English.) Russian+Greek alphabet. 100 words, 3 grammatical sentences in the present, past and future, a request and a command. 1 song, in 12 languages.
