| Yup. No word of a lie. It would be great if children could, once again, be taught some ‘life basics’: simple cooking, how to sew on a button, sorting out laundry, how to organise bills and operate a current account, wiring a plug (does anyone still wire plugs?). I say this, because - apart from cooking - I’m useless at all of them. Old-fashioned, absolutely, but useful. An hour a week wouldn’t hurt anyone or detract from academic studies - and I’m not at all sure that everyone gets this at home. You’re also dead right about the change in culture. It seems that it’s not unheard of to order, say, McDs to be delivered, when the McDs in question is at the end of the road. Words fail, and that’s unusual for me. |
