RE: One in ten British children can't find the UK on a map...
not surprising when a vast majority of kids dont have English as a first language, i am surprised they can read at all, mind you i bet they ALL can use a computer and an Xbox or whatever the damn things are called.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

My 13 year old Nephew called the Queen, the Queen of England. We haven't had one of those since 1707! It would seem it's not just Geography that's bitten the dust.

RE: One in ten British children can't find the UK on a map...
I am amazed at childrens ignorence today. Young teens that I meet don't know a half of the important things that I knew when their age. What they do know, that I didn't was all about Pop music and other trivial things, such as Dr. Who etc.. Some are good at Maths if they have a Calculator, take it away and they cannot calculate it with their brain. I don't consider that my English is good, or my spelling, but most youngsters English is appalling. However, that is the situation and I cannot change it. It seems that Governments wish to continue breeding sheeple. Kenneth Eames.

i am amazed at how low the average persons intelligence has sunk, its all the fault of the cult of the celebrity and the likes of Big Brother and BGT, just look at how thick Jade Goody was-didnt even know where East Anglia(East Angular she called it) was!

Depends what you class as important. How important is finding the UK on the map compared to knoing your way around the social system.
