My friend Pam,no she is not a nutter.

 

She had spent 3 hours this evening trying to do before 10 year old sons home work on the Commonwealth games...

 

So via text I started to help.

 

It was hard.

 

The final question was name the 3 values the commonwealth games promote.

 

I found the answers but it took me about 30 minutes.

 

Do you guys know the answer?

Here is what i found VIA google :)

 

The three core values of the Commonwealth Games movement are Humanity, Equality and Destiny

[Jelly Bean]

Seedy I've already gave her the answers. I am sorry to say your wrong.

 

If you need some clues just ask.

 

Not as easy as you think.

 

JB.

[KenB]

Commonwealth values: tolerance, respect and understanding

 

Took me about a minute :)

[Jelly Bean]

Sorry Ken your wrong.

 

Here are the first letter of the 3.

 

D, E and F.

 

Another hint they have been changed.

 

JB.

Who decides what is right and wrong?

That was a quote from the British Council Education Pack distributed to schools by the BBC :)

 

I hate this type of homework given to kids - there are numerous answers but only the one that the teacher has written down is correct !

[mh2]

Sorry Ken your wrong.

 

Here are the first letter of the 3.

 

D, E and R.

 

Another hint they have been changed.

 

JB.

 

According to this paper:

 

Equality, Liberty and Democracy

 

Maybe Liberty changed to Repression

Hi have to agree with Ken here the values of Commonwealth Games there own flag consists of Seedy's answers , the BBC education pack states Ken's answers , the article linked by Mohammed states other answers and the Glasgow 2014 website points to further answers to the values.

I agree the values have changed many times over the years.

 

And it was hard to find the right answers. I found them in the end.

 

My idea of the post really was for you to realise how hard it was to find the new ones.

 

Hint:

 

They are Excellence ,Friendship and ???????

 

My point also was these were questions set for 10 year-olds in Primary school..

 

If we struggled how did they expect child to fond the answers?

 

JB.

[KenB]

Excellence ,Friendship and

Excellence - Friendship and Respect are the Olympic values. :)

[Jelly Bean]

Sorry the R was not right it should of been an F.

 

School homework the answers were: Excellence ,Friendship and Destiny.

 

It was written like this:

 

D------ 7 letter word..

E--------- 10 letter word.

F--------- 10 letter word.

 

Honestly,I understand what your all saying.

Our Values

 

More values

 

But the school wrote the question and we struggled to answer it.And the school say that is right.

[KenB]

I can understand Excellence and Friendship.

Destiny sounds like something from Starwars :)

[Jelly Bean]

Read my second link it reads humanity,equality and destiny..

 

Freindship and excellence are do do with Olympic.

 

The school wrote the question what are the commonwealth games three core values.

 

Begining with letters e,d and f.

 

JB.

[Jelly Bean]

I think the teacher googled the question and got this as the first link at the top of the page,noted only the bold lettering and put that as the answer.Do you see what I see?

[Jelly Bean]

Yes Ken I did.This has bugged me and bugged me.

 

Mr Randal will not be happy when he realises.

[Armageddon]

" Do you see what I see " is it time for Christmas Carols already

[Plastic Nev]

Sounds like a right old "Ding dong merrily on high" does this. :D

[Jelly Bean]

I could poke you both in the eyes.

 

But what a lazy teacher was he not?

 

He didnt read the full link,now if that was one of his pupils he would have something to say.
