Any 'religion' that chops off a womans head for 'illicit' sex 'Death of a Princess' S.Arabia 1980 is beneath contempt and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a classroom. My density 1g/cm3 - I suspect after years of religious programming you are nearer 11g/cm3.

You're obviously an airhead!
The 'princess' was excecuted by the western-propped, brutal Saudi regime who use a distortion of Islam to crush the people. Politicians killed her, not priests.

COMMENT:I'd feel a lot safer if Shami Chakrabati gave back her honour and it was given to the policemen who diffused the bombs. Lets stop making the job of the security services more difficult and start respecting their bravery.

"Sex Education should be banned.
Since its introduction, the rate of childhood pregnancy has shot up."
That is a ridiculous thing to say. The Dutch have more sex ed than anyone in Europe, and they have the lowest teen pregnancy rates. We need more, not less.
Tom Williamson, Manchester, United Kingdom
Well, would you want to get a Dutch girl pregnant???

The word foreigner is spell as typed, not as you have spelt it.
There is no point telling you to back to school and learn to spell properly as you might not even improve.

How about teaching Urdu and Polish. Might help them jump the housing queue if people think they are immigrants

Our children should not be learning Urdu - which is pointless in the business world. Instead, the Urdu's should be learning English.

"What do think about a greater focus on individual needs, classroom basics and new subjects?"
I think that BBC HYS copyrighters/proofreaders should go back to school themselves and learn how to write English!
Surely there should be a "you" between "What do" and "think"?
Long BBC lunch was it darlings?

I would agree with The Devils Advocate except for the last point. We are neither tenants nor owners of the world - we just live on it for an extremely short time, in the world's terms, and we should make the best use of our time on it, becauase that's all we have.

Debating skills, as the Greeks knew, are really important - reason, the ability to propound a case, what "off-topic" means are all useful to life and the workplace.

Why are so many people calling caltech a nazi etc for comments like that above?
It's a true statement, much like the current greenwash being thrust upon us.
Open your eyes, and use some initiative.
captain dave the hat, Londre
They lack the intelligence to fight with out calling names and fear the word religion or God. I'm not a bible thumper but it is funny that the book of revelations talks about the persecution religion will face and the call for godlessness.

And he has a lot of alta (as he puts it) egos that defend him or squablle with anyone who criticises his 'right' to persecute others throught the medium of free speech.
Richard LittleMaidmarion,
My polite reply to this comment gets rejected, whilst the above remains on. Can the BBC moderators exercise more fairness, newsniffer is getting overloaded with caltech comments.

Uncontrolled immigration causes homeborn terrorist threats?
I know this will get rejected eventually, but can you not see the problem with that statement? Go and think about your racist agenda a little bit, please.

They should be taught that uncontrolled immigration will cause a shortage in housing, public services and jobs resulting in unaffordable housing, low wages and poor healthcare and education.
Not to mention homeborn terrorist threats and guncrime in the inner citys.

- Respect for others
- Money isn't everything
- It's not cool to be stupid and yobbish
- Life can be very tough and self-responsibility is vital
- It's beautiful to be alive, the world is full of many wonders
- The planet is a limited resource and we are tenants of it, not owners.

THESE ARE THINGS THAT PARENTS ARE RESONSIBLE FOR TEACHING, NOT SCHOOLS! IDIOT!

Kev Sutton you geniuss, fancy being able to spell library but not understanding a typographical error.
Check the house rules and you will see that picking errors like that is bad form.
I was refering to the fact that could not spell, not that I could not type!
Spend more time thinking about the subject and less time forensically challenging mistyped comments and you will have something pertinant to add, rather than just wasting peoples eyesight reading vacuous and puerile comments.
Loser!

English, maths and science are the key principles needed to be taught Learning English literature is vital because it helps to grow a child's vocabulary
After that, learning history and what shaped this country is needed, as well as Geography learning about places, cycles of weather etc
Also teaching students about citizenship about voting and living in a society (i cant really explain this), learning another language is always useful Also teach proper IT how to use excel, Powerpoint etc.

"That Islam is NOT something only to be demonised, feared, mistrusted and stereotyped.
That many British people are as dense as lead and haven't a clue what the world is like.

Any 'religion' that advocates chopping off a young womans head for something as trival as 'illicit' sex 'Death of a Princess' S.Arabia 1980 is beneath contempt and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a classroom. My density 1g/cm3 - I suspect after years of religious programming you are nearer 11g/cm3.

"Our children are not taught Geography , History or probably much else , save 'self expression' and how to be 'gay'.
Now they are to be taught Finance ...hahahaha ! You mean 'How to claim Benefits' !!"

Who taught you to be STUPID or is that a skill you self-taught? Did you serve an apprenticeship with a master idiot?

Maths

Teach our children that in actual fact Islam is NOT a religion of peace as it specificaly states non-believers should either be subjugated or executed.
Religion should be kept firmly OUT of the national curriculum. It is a personal choice and should be left at the school gates.

Doing 33mph in a 30 mph is very very dangerous, even at 3AM,
Being within 100 metres of someone smoking a cigerette will give you instant lung cancer,
immigration is good, despite not being enough housing, jobs or healthcare for those already here,
it is safe to release peodophilles, muggers, rapists from prison, as long as we keep the little old lady in, who could not afford her council tax,
its good to scrap the NHS, but the taxpayer must subsidise BUPA for our politicians,

Teaching Urdu has nothing to do with preparing our children for work life, but everything to do with the government trying to look politically correct.
Children should not have their school time wasted in the name of “pc”.

If HYS reflects British levels of education (which it doesn't because HYS is a right-wing crank site infested by nazis and white power freaks) then I think the most important things to teach British children is that your opinion is valueless until you have understood the subject and the opinion of experts is more credit worthy than an ad-hoc "well, I reckon..."

Lets get this straight, Islam has not proved to be disrespectful and intolerant but certain minorities have.... so lets not get that mixed up, I am a muslim and the Islam I have been taught is not that of what these minorities portay it to be

[Tolerance should be the number 1, with the focus on teaching Islam. This would help reduce misinformation about it. Perhaps, even helping all Children in the UK see how it is the way forward." Mohammed, Luton ]
Yeah, and we should include lessons for girls on how to wear a veil eh?? Sorry Mohammed, any children of mine will not be subscribing to Islam - they will be good Pagans like their mother!
England's secondary curriculum is being overhauled with more emphasis on the "three Rs" and more time for individual student needs.
More subjects will be included, with languages like Mandarin and lessons in finance and environment.
Should there be more flexibility in the curriculum? How useful are subjects like Mandarin and finance? Do you work in a school? Are you a parent? What would you like your children to learn?
