Introduction | Having retired from being a History Teacher, I am slightly puzzled by the disappearance of World History from the Secondary History Curriculum during my 30 years as a teacher. As a Christian I am slightly puzzled by the Christian church, but remain a Layreader of the Church of England. And why, oh why, do I enjoy flying virtual aeroplances on my PC? |
