Text A
Translation The strange thing is that so little of what I’ve learnt at school is actually related to my job. I cannot remember the last time I had to calculate the area of a circle, or recite grammar rules. What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversation, or how to avoid getting into debt, or how to control my own children!

To be fair, both the responsibilities of parents and personal finances are now sometimes taught as part of Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE), which also covers areas such as the responsibilities of citizens and the harm of illegal drugs. Many EU countries also teach the responsibilities of citizens as a core subject, although not everyone agrees what it should aim to teach.

I was quite shocked, because I do not consider myself a pushy parent. But James suggests showing any interest in grades sends the message that what is important is results and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright. He points out that creating happy citizens who have good social skills is more important than good marks at school.

Learning to Be Happy
Reading Oliver James’ new book Affluenza, I was reminded of a regular scene in our house. My 12year-old daughter is in tears. “I’ve got a test tomorrow. I don’t understand any of it,” she screams. After shouting and shutting her door violently, she calms down enough to go through her notes. The following day I ask her how the test went and she just says “OK. I got a nine. ”

According to James, this extreme interest in getting top marks has been a bad development, which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and consumption. To test this idea, I asked my daughter why she was so concerned about her tests. She looked at me as if I was sick. “Well, if I don’t get good grades, I won’t get into university. Then I probably won’t get a good job and if I don’t have a good job, I won’t be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff.”
