The Peter Principle: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Principle . I'd never heard of that principle under that name, but I've come across it often enough in academia and in "real work" places.

You're absolutely wrong! The focus should be on "educating" children to learn how to self-discover and self-learn using this low cost device. Spoon feeding some government sponsored syllabus is not going to achieve that.

The point is that "the UK government has stated there is no place in the science curriculum for Intelligent Design and that it can not be taught as science." Finally, this government has pulled its head out of its own politically correct asshole, spoken the thoughts of the vast majority of the people that democraticslly elected them to power and stopped pandering to the small-minded lobby groups. Still, it's all too little, too late. I can't wait until they loose the next election...
