One in four children start primary school not knowing how
to use a book correctly – with many trying to swipe or tap
pages like a phone or tablet, a report reveals today.
A survey of 1,000 staff also found that a quarter of reception
pupils are not properly toilet-trained and a third are unable
to put on a coat, hold a pencil or count to ten.
Teachers told researchers for educational charity Kindred
Squared they were spending a third of the school day
'babysitting' four-and five-year-olds who lack basic skills.
Yet only 16 per cent of parents surveyed thought they were
solely responsible for teaching their children how to use
books, and only half thought toilet-training was entirely
up to them.
. . .
Oh, wow ...........
Um, does Mommy think the Ministry Poop Patrol is
supposed to come around twice a day to teach Junior
how to crap down the crapper ??? Sorry dears, it
*IS* 100% YOUR responsibility.
Such under-prepared kids ... it demonstrates a form
of Child Abuse IMHO and a huge burden on Society.
Start with fines ... the most serious cases might
require more extensive proceedings ......
