Supporting a Call for a Simpler Curriculum

GREAT!

Those of you who have read previous posts will know that I find the national curriuclum too packed and too academic - particularly at Key Stage 1. I love the idea of the simpler curriculum that some MP's are calling for. I long for the day when the constraints that many teachers currently feel, fall away and their imaginations and creativity and personality are allowed to resurface in the classroom once again.

I loved my years in the classroom and my lessons included a project on the behaviour of African termites which I taught to my class of 9 year olds in a school in Hong Kong. We all got a huge amount of fun and leaning about this. It was totally 'my thing' and I doubt that the system would tolerate it now.

Lets hope it will again.

Interesting perspective by Niel Howe on generational history. As my work is about mobilising children and youth and if your interest touches this too, this is some of what what we need to know!
