Pupils to study Twitter and blogs in primary schools shake-up
• New curriculum will give teachers more freedom
• Second world war and Victoria not compulsory
Polly Curtis – Guardian 25/03/09
Study Twitter? Study Blogs? They are just tools to engage and stimulate. For many they are already, just an every day, common place thing.
I wonder sometimes if the people writing the headlines have any idea?
“The proposed curriculum, which would mark the biggest change to primary schooling in a decade, strips away hundreds of specifications about the scientific, geographical and historical knowledge pupils must accumulate before they are 11 to allow schools greater flexibility in what they teach.”
You can just hear the scrape of old soapboxes as they are pulled out of cupboards in response to this idea.
