Students in UK to Study Internet

For primary-school students in the UK, studying history might soon become, well, history :

Primary school pupils should learn how to blog and use internet sites like Twitter and Wikipedia and spend less time studying history, it is claimed.

A review of the primary school curriculum in England will be published in a final report next month.
But the Guardian newspaper says draft copies it has seen shows pupils will no longer have to study the Victorian period or the Second World War.

Ministers said British history would always be a core part of education . . . .

Something tells me students already spend enough time “studying” Twitter and Facebook outside of the classroom.
