I do not necessarily disagree with this bit, especially when you consider my wife is a Sussex Farmer's daughter, and I too have been close to that farm and its associated environments for some 30+ years. My experience might not result in the ignorance you say !!

You absolutely know that I was referring to a previous post and those comments you attribute to me was a spin on how that previous poster seemed to have thought. Which bit of rural life do you think me and Bushy are ignorant on and perhaps what qualify's your expertise on it ??

But it quite plainly isnt, there would be no such drive to let some inner city kid learn rural traditions, yes go to the local sheep farm for a day out, but beyond that it is never said that it is for any cultural reasons, whereas for the little white kiddies to go to Lambeth must encompass race...

Having a 'lovely little rural life' doesnt mean that you dont know whats going on in other places, that is the typical sneering life view from you lot. Its quite difficult to define multiculturalism, is it different ethnicity, different religions, different nationalities or a dulux chart of...

Teaching about different cultures seem a decent enough thing to teach, multiculturalism is a political agenda, how do you teach that ?? We were originally told that multiculturalism is an aspiration only to be now told that it has failed, how and what do you teach now ?? There isnt a definite...

Annoys you !!! Most of this discussion was prompted my the OP which he himself intimated that the report had said that the school might have lacked a more multicultural and diverse experience. Most of the debate currently is that some, you included, agree with that position irrespective of...

Absolutely patronising drivel ..... Of course you encourage all the virtues that are necessary to function within the modern world, but you lot that foist upon, arguably a far more tolerant and less religiously driven or divided community, a set of termly visits to some proclaimed multi...

Quite how people think spending half a day in some inner city twice annually might somehow prepare them for your multi cultural world is a little hard to fathom too. Look if a school has chosen to visit inner cities areas and experience that dynamic, all well and good, should it be a necessary...

I have exclusively responded to your post and my points are in response to your comments, I neednt read the report in full as I have no great desire to comment beyond the points you highlighted. If the Headteacher believes it effected her grading and as I suspect she is correct then my point...

If as you concede it will not deliver the' Eureka Moment', whatever that might be, then why posture and include it in a very serious report on that school's provision of education.

Where, how and what kind of 'exposure' would actually offer an insight to any other culture in half a days visit, somewhere ?? Experiencing snapshots of a Mosque, Synagogue or ancient Church doesnt necessarily deliver the life changing experience that you say would somehow enhance their future...
