Abstract
READERS of the Spectator will recall a recent article bearing the challenging title "Teaching the Wrong Things", and they will probably agree that the writer of the article made out a good case, to say the least, for a revision of our notions of what should be taught in our schools. The call for revision does not come directly from the teaching profession itself, partly because teachers are too much occupied with the social side of their work to think about departures from the traditional curriculum, and partly because their noses are kept to the grindstone by the requirements of external examinations.
