literacy and what?
Literacy and Numeracy
Last week I asked my daughter which subjects she liked at school. She paused before telling me that she enjoyed something called numeracy. She's only six years old!
Literacy - I assume this is what we used to call English. You know, reading and writing.
Numeracy - Erm, maths?
What next..?
non-contemporary events - history
culture and landmass - geography
competitive and non competitive physical exertion within a structured and formalised setting - PE
And another thing, Literacy is a noun that means the ability to read and write and I couldn't even find numeracy in the damned dictionary!

I know somebody who used to teach 'Resistant Materials'. That's woodwork and metalwork to those of us old enough to remember.
