My 14 year old daughter is "doing" a play for her English coursework - "Educating Rita".

Am I the only one who thnks this isn't suitable material?

Not only have they watched the video (complete with "f" words) they have also read the play in class. (My daughter refused to read the words she found offensive). They are now going to try to take them to Manchester to see a live performance.

Who decides that it's OK to teach our children to "eff and blind" because it's "literature"??

Perhaps it's no wonder young teenagers advise each other to go forth and multiply when they are arguing.

Before anyone starts slagging off the school I think we need to look a little higher up the ladder.

I feel the need to complain but I'm not sure where I should direct the complaint.
