I mean in school. I have never been taught about the war or how it started or other peoples beliefs and things like that in school. Some of you might have but none of the schools in my area have been.
I think it should be, because its probably one of the biggest things going on in the world. I don't think alot of people unders stand alot of it, me being one of them.

Having saying that, more and more people from other countries in the world are coming to live here and it wouldnt be right to talk about it. People see everything differently so it could end up badly anyway.


Sorry if I'm not really making sense with that, or it sounds really stupid.

[InOne]

Luckily I learnt quite alot about what was going on and what has happened in school. Anything else I looked up.

[Ninastar]

Another thing is that people always watch the news or read newspapers which can lie or pursuade people to think the wrong things.

[ILoveTRW]

no but we should have lesson about whats going on in the real world

[Lewis.]

I totally agree Caitlin. If it wasn't for my own personal research I wouldn't know what the hell is going on in the world today

[Stacey.]

I do get taught that sort of - i think
i dont know what we get taught in school really.
but i do think we should get more education on it .

[Novo]

There is already a subject like this

it's called History

[Beastie]

Yeah could learn it in your PSE lesson.

[Smithy]

I just thought it wouldnt do me good in the future. I wanted to take it though. I dont know much about history at all so it would have been nce to learn.

I do History as a GCSE but it would be besst if we covered more recent events rather then stuff like The American West. They need to teach us things like 9/11 which is recent and relates to our culture now.

Yeah or about events which have happened in the past 100 years.

[Patrick]

Agree, usually our History teacher would go off topic and talk about somthing thats happening in the world and then he soon realises hes wasting time, and goes back to Irish History.

So I think it would be really good if we had a subject on what goes on about the world, it would be helpful.

We have done WW2 and the Holocaust last year. Plus JFK assasination and Vietnam War (soon).

We just need to be taught about the last decade though.

[Beastie]

I had boring teachers for History when I was at school.

Oh I was not really taught about recent events or events in the last 100 years when I was at school. It was usually like the battle of hastings.

Although I do remember going to a museum about the Holocaust.

[Stacey.]

my history lessons were last year .
I cant remember what we did, not even one lesson

[Jords]

I dropped history after year 9, found it boring, was quite good at it though.

[Beastie]

I dropped it after year 9 as well and I think in my final exam I got like 53 or 57%. Okay that is so sad how I memorise that :S I could never copy off the person next to me because I could never read her **** miniscule handwriting! lol
