A Conversation for Nursery Rhymes
No One Knows Them Any More
madmum22 Started conversation Feb 23, 2006
When I returned to college in 1995 (I was 35 then) I had a course in speech communications. The instructor, who was slightly younger than myself, passed out a sheet entitled 'Politically Correct Nursery Rhymes.' If you didn't know your nursery rhymes, you wouldn't recognize any of them; hence, not one student in that class under the age of 30 were able to recognize any of the nursery rhymes.
I have to assume that parents rarely teach their children nursery rhymes any more, and that's a shame. I certainly taught them to my children. Whether they remember any or not is anyone's guess!
