Watching some of these quiz shows, and the young contestants state they are a teacher, but don't know or give a stupid answer to a basic general knowledge, history, maths question. What future is there for our children.

I have a friend, a retired headmistress, who from an early age had problems with maths. This gave her great empathy with the pupils who had similar difficulties and always ensured the children learnt the subject without stress or tension.
I don't measure the knowledge of my children/grandchildren on whether they know a particular fact or person from History.
I'd rather they could balance their housekeeping, order the right amount of food for a meal, measure up for home furnishings and calculate APR on a loan first.
If they can then recite a list of Monarchs and Battles all well and good.
By the way, five year old little un tells me it would take 3 billion ants in a row to fill the Euro Tunnel - I can't vouch for his accuracy.

Horselady, hold on to that certificate so when granddaughter excels in high school/college/uni she can take it back to primary school and tell them her achievements were nothing to do with them.
At this rate, there will be no more episodes of The Chase or Mastermind or University Challenge. I wonder huw many contestants 'freeze' though?
