[quote:1ea93]The researchers also warned that a lack of subject knowledge among teachers - particularly at primary level - was leading to history being taught in a 'shallow way leading to routine and superficial learning'. [/quote:1ea93]

I agree with this part.

I think history teachers should be at least educated to degree level if they are going to teach the subject. There's far too many popular myths taught in schools & I highly doubt that many primary school teachers would know a great deal about the subject. I know a fair few young ladies who are training to be teachers & tbh & wouldn't want them teaching my kids. rolleyes:

BTW all that crap about not teaching the Crusades & holocaust is most probably bs. The holocaust is such a huge subject just about all of Western civlisation would have heard about it from other sources anyway. I'm still waiting for my apology from the Italian government for their genocide by using British slaves in the Roman salt mines circa 50BC-300AD.
