In Our Schools - Modernizing Traditions
And what if, in the future, bungee cords are replaced?
Do they change the rhyme again?...
Lawrence Conway posted this story on the U.K. Daily Mail website:
"A new campaign has been launched to save traditional British rhymes and songs amid fears they are dying out. The push follows sanitised, more upbeat versions of classic nursery rhymes, including Humpty Dumpty, being taught to children. In one updated version the hero didn't get bumped or bruised at all, but instead 'bungee jumped'. In another instead of being unable to 'put Humpty together again', the new version claimed all the King's horses and all the King's men 'made Humpty happy again'."
