Skool Daze

Here is further evidence that political correctness and that touchy-feely attitude has ruined our culture:

"A British primary school has axed spelling homework because students find it 'distressing' to learn lists. Children at the Whitminster Church of England Primary, in Gloucestershire, will no longer be given a short list of words to learn each week because staff believe it can leave them feeling like failures, the Mail Online reports."

Nick Seaton, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, had the same reaction I did: "Youngsters will feel a sense of failure more strongly when they go into the world of work and can't produce a letter or a report for their employers," he said.
