The next shower of morons will be even dumber that the current selection, us.
Your children will have their thought processes disabled by BS overload. They will be programmed to turn away from crackpot ideas that they already know everything about, as they were spoon fed everything they needed to know in school.
Their young minds will be conditioned to accept there being a greather possibility of UFOs existing as opposed to God existing.
They are being introduced to euthanasia so they will not feel sorry for you when you get old and in the way  :lol: . They will be programmed to wish that you just do the decent thing and euthanize yourself when the time comes, ASAP is best, but ssssshhhh !! they will never admit it selfish little gits.
P.S. Just make sure you remember to allow your children to have second picking on your life's collection of assorted junk after you euthanize yourself, have to let master get 1st pickings on your life's collection of assorted junk like good little sheople TAX slaves that we are.

I think people should, take control of their children if they don't, GoverNment will do it for them.  :roll: If you let  GoverNment take charge you will get what you deserve for abandoning your children to the beast.
Imagine there will be an exam on this rubbish, "How well you can think". No surprise a charity connected to Wally (Prince )of Wales is involved.

I found that when I replaced the words taught ,teach, learn with the words like conditioned, condition, be conditioned the article read alot better.

QuotePupils to be taught 'how to think' in GCSE-style course
Teenagers will be awarded the equivalent of a GCSE in "thinking" under new plans

They will be taught the difference between an argument and a rant and how to separate fact from opinion, it was disclosed.

Topics covered in the new course - drawn up by one of Britain's biggest exam boards - will include debate over the existence of UFOs, a belief in the after life and arguments for and against euthanasia.

In the first move of its kind, the "Thinking and Reasoning Skills" qualification will be offered next year following claims from universities and employers that young people lack basic skills.

Last year, the Confederation of British Industry said an obsession with iPods, mobile phones and the internet meant many computer-savvy teenagers were unable to hold proper conversations and write essays.

The OCR exam board said there was "massive" demand from schools for the new course.

But critics say the focus on skills detracts from traditional subjects, such as history, geography and science.

Bernice McCabe, head of fee-paying North London Collegiate School, and director of a charity set up by the Prince of Wales to promote good teaching, said mainstream subjects were no longer "fashionable".

Nick Gibb, the Conservative shadow schools minister, said: "The problem with these skills-based subjects is that pupils can actually miss out on the basic subject knowledge that is particularly important pre-16."

OCR has already introduced an A-level in critical thinking.

Under latest plans, a new "Level 2 qualification" will enable schoolchildren to gain the equivalent of an A* to C grade GCSE in the subject.

According to the course syllabus, the qualification will complement mainstream subjects, by allowing pupils to "develop a conscious, critical awareness of the full range of skills which together constitute higher forms of thinking".

Pupils are expected to develop an understanding of 10 "skills", said OCR, including evaluating evidence, decision making, problem solving and creative thinking. Under the heading of "understanding arguments", students will learn how to recognise "the difference between arguments and rants and lists of information and explanations", as well as "identifying indicator words which signal the presence of reasons and conclusions".

They will complete exercises based on a series of topical issues. Suggested subjects include the rise of teenage violence, drug and alcohol abuse, genetic engineering, euthanasia, global warming and animal experiments.

In one exercise - based on conspiracy theories - students will be asked to debate the existence of UFOs and alien abductions.

The course, which is aimed at under-16s, involves around 60 hours of teaching. Students sit two, hour-long written exams and are awarded a distinction, merit or pass.

An OCR spokesman said: "There is increasing evidence that improving a learner's thinking and reasoning skills has a hugely beneficial effect for their learning in other subjects."


Love the last statement of the article.
"There is increasing evidence that degrading the learner's thinking and reasoning skill has hugely beneficial effects for the masters of the sheople as the sheople's learning skills will be retarded from as early an age as possible in as many subjects as possible."
