Lesson in common sense

WHY are we being manipulated by Ofsted in such an Orwellian way? Yes, schools must prepare pupils for the opportunities and responsibilities of life in British society, but it is frightening that LGBT issues are considered important for young children. They will surely find their own way in life once they are mature.

It should be more relevant for schools to teach children first aid and how to manage finances in the real world. Please bring back common sense to the classroom.

Mrs H. EINHORN, Chigwell, Essex. OfsTed is persecuting faith schools. It speaks pompously of British values, but these are alien to the ones I was taught: tolerance, religious and secular, keeping an open mind and not imposing your beliefs on others. Mrs GRANIA SINKE,
