Subject: RE: BS: CapriUni's blog: disability in folktales
In nursery rhyme form 'Simple Simon met a pieman' written back in a time of ignorance about learning difficulties. Was it banned for children in schools or do children continue to recite it today? It has taken such a long time for Mental Health issues to be understood over the years that I wondered if rhymes and stories with characters like this still exist in schools now or discussed because of the content?
