@JuliaHB1 it's not on the school curriculum, well not in State schools -
@newmelinda my daughter did a project on China in year 3 and it included a bit about Mao. Important aspect of 20c history, no? -
@JuliaHB1 So she was 8 I must ask my youngest g/child who is 8 what they studying this year.The fact the tories are cosying up to them ok? -
@newmelinda my daughter attends a very good private primary school. They do stuff that I didn't learn well into secondary school at my comp. -
@JuliaHB1@newmelinda Wonder how much your daughter will learn about the Middle passage; considering Cameron's family owned slaves.#Slavery -
@Jaminya@newmelinda I imagine she will learn plenty about it at school and if not I will make sure she learns about it at home.
