Has anyone else read about the government plans to introduce lessons on personal finance as part of the curriculum?
It made me smile.
Nice idea, teaching the youngens how to open their own bank accounts. Even better, teaching them how to pay back the increased debt they'll be owing as a result of the bumped-up price of almost everything:
'Shadow schools secretary Michael Gove told The Times: "There is a certain irony that, after presiding over changes to student finance, tax rises and a massive increase in housing costs, the Government is now lecturing the next generation on how to handle debts which ministers have saddled them with." '
Excellent.

I’d like to know when and how this will be fitted in with the curriculum? Is this to offer guidance for future University students, to manage their tuition fees?
This makes me wonder about how many hours are there in a school day? Maybe when I was at school and you started at 8.30 and the day ended at 4.10pm, you could have fitted this in! Not now, I fear.
Poor little tykes no wonder they all suffer from stress and class rooms are uncontrollable by terrified teachers.
