tonymaillman Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I keep pushing this site (as do all of us who are on it - hope you don't mind Gary). Mainly for any headteachers, class teachers and teaching assistants who may read this particular part of the forum. All hands on stuff with talks/demonstrations to suit your curricular requirements. All are dedicated to their own specialised area of history. www.classhistory.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary - we actually visit the school itself as individuals. If the one you are in is happy to pay for flights and hundredweights of equipment to be flown over then I'll quite happily come and do a talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonymaillman Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Originally posted by observer: Have they enough time in the curriculum Tone, There's always plenty of time during a school day, plus there are options of half day and full day talks/demonstrations. All depends on which module they are on in the curriculum and how in depth it needs to be. They usually combine it with the 'proper' schools education programmes on TV.

brenda Callaghan Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 You must visit Lancaster then and go in the Castle. There you will see all names that have meaning for Warringtonians. Just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonymaillman Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Have visited the shire hall a few times displaying the heraldic arms of all previous high sheriffs of Lancashire (including the Boteler arms) and constables of the castle.

Peter T Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Tony, Where can I find information on the original ford crossing on the edge of Victoria Park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonymaillman Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Peter - plenty of good books about Warrington will have the info. If you wish to delve further then you can request certain books from the libraries archives by appointment, but you have to look through them there and then, I've done that with researching Boteler stuff before.

observer Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Seems history isn't the only subject not being taught in schools - geography too. A recent survey found that over 50% of adults couldn't point out the location of Switzerland on a world map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 So is geography; but judging from adult knowledge either folk have got bad memories or they wern't taught properly in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 The Mailman is correct -- history is taught, but a majority of younger persons don't wish to learn it. It takes yin and yang to equal education. It seems the present day way to be cool among one's peers is to disdain learning anything from a person who is older than them.

observer Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Does this prove, it's therefore possible for societies to regress educationally, or just part of a society? Thus adding weight to the theory that humanity is at the point of dividing into two new evolutionary branches - "the knows" and the "don't knows" !

Jerry Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 A Canadian satirist has written and directed a 2006 film called IDIOCRACY that illustrates the non-reproductive high IQ citizens and the awesome fecundity of the low IQ citizens -- projecting a future where the citizenry does not even know that water is required for plants to grow. One man has an errand to do, and looks for a clue on an ancient sign -- tries to sound it out. His friend says, "Hey, you're trying to read... are you GAY?" You might enjoy it. The president of the USA is a black professional wrestler who enjoys spraying the air with machine guns. People are tattooed with bar codes for ID.
