	Best way to 'educate' a school?

Apparently a lot of the children pointed out that it was, in fact, St Pirans day and the teacher said she was aware of that but she'd specifically been asked to do a talk on St George. I called the school just now and am waiting for them to call back. Is it unreasonable for me to be quite upset by this?

There's many reasons to give a talk to Cornish School children about St George. There's only one reason for doing it on St Piran's Day. 1d3az b3c0m3 th0ught5, th0ughtz b3c0m3 1n1t1at1v35, 1n1t1at1v3z b3c0m3 act10n5, act10nz br1ng chang3..

My best advice would be to get your hands on a copy of John Angarracks's book, 'Our Future is History'. In part the book describes JA's own struggle to get a Cornish education for his Cornish children and provides plenty of advice, hints and tips for other parents who wish to do the same thing.

Any students, teachers, or students whose parents wish for them to learn Cornish history/culture could come along. Until we get a Cornish curriculum edited by: Ellery, Mar 07, 2007 - 07:42 PM We will make Cornwall see the lies. We will open up their eyes. We Cornish born and bred.
