In 1988 the federal government passed the Education Reform Act which required students at all state schools to be taught a standard curriculum. The curriculum is intended to “promote pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and prepare all pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life.” Proponents believe that this is necessary to keep standards high at all schools funded by the government. Opponents believe that teachers should be able to develop curriculum content that is best suited for their students.
@4TSTB3W3yrs3Y
Yes, Religious ****** s should not be allowed to present facts vs. books that were wrote around 1500 years ago at most which have books put in and excluded and supported by Nazi supporters as a 50:50 "debate" just because I say a Green Goblin invented the universe with his female pet llama doesn't make it true or even respectable.
@4ZGDQX33yrs3Y
yes but it should be designed by teachers and should consider the individual child not be written my MPs who aren't qualified or knowledgeable on how best to teach children
@4WS9TG43yrs3Y
There should be the same standard for each age across the country, but teachers should be able to craft their own teaching to the actual students they have in front of them.
@4TZX96X3yrs3Y
Teachers should be able to develop curriculum content that is best suited for their students while under guidance from
@596VTSG3yrs3Y
A standard curriculum should take up no more than 50% of the school week.
@57X863K3yrs3Y
Get rid of the current curriculum. High school is far too out of date and out of touch. Be more practical and hands on with how children learn. It took me till college to find something I could relate to being taught by people who I respected because they respected me. Stop worrying about algebra and Shakespeare and get into the 21st century. The next generation will thank you for it.
@4WZ8RFJ3yrs3Y
School age children should not be taught a left wing agenda, pro EU propaganda, or 'alternative lifestyles'. English/British history needs to be taught, not, European, or whatever it is they teach now.
Yes, but allow flexibility for non-core subjects and teachers should teach to the needs of each student and region
@9LNT6T51wk1W
Yes, but a standard curriculum should be highly flexible and more a a loose collection of guidelines rather than a fully standard curriculum
@9LLDB3G2wks2W
Yes each student should receive the same education. But all curriculum should encourage and support diversity and inclusive education. They should also teach practical skills like taxes etc
@9LL23TR2wks2W
Yes, but allow flexibility for non-core subjects but ALSO teachers should teach to the needs of each student and region
@9LK6Y632wks2W
Yes, but modernise the curriculum. Teach children about finances, relationships and how to look after themselves. Cooking, nutrition and hygiene. Sadly not all children have good parents. Teach them practical skills.
@9LDRMDW3wks3W
Yes, but there should be flexibility for non-core subjects and options of different subjects and educational arrangements.
@9K7MC8B2mos2MO
Students should be taught lessons that help them get a job in the future and not be forced to sit in religious classes opposed to their own religion
@9K65KGC2mos2MO
No, curricula should be decided with the parents at the constituent country and local school district level
Yes, but the curriculum should be modernised to be more relevant and allow flexibility for other subjects
@9JR4YBQ3mos3MO
Yes, but the standard curriculum needs to be diversified and not hide the horrific parts of British history
@9JHYPPS3mos3MO
Yes, and this should incorporate a strong patriotic and citizenship ethic but allow flexibility in teaching methods across all subjects.
Yes, for parity, but allow flexibility for needs of students for vacational/ academic/ additional support/ progression
@9J3KSBT3mos3MO
Yes, as long as it is defined by an independent commission and flexibility is allowed for non-core subjects
Yes, but there should be room to explore issues beyond the curriculum or go deeper into certain issues
@9FVKSV67mos7MO
I believe school should teach only what's necessary, as a default, as well as life skills and about all different kinds of people and things in existence, so that they understand the world and know how to effectively survive within it. Anything else should be optional.
@9FLDB5N7mos7MO
The standard curriculum does not fit all, there needs to be more vocational classes.
Yes, but the standard curriculum should include more on politics, life and the real british history.
@9FJDTR37mos7MO
Yes but only for core subjects

No, teachers should teach to the needs of each student and region but within reason
@rosball220501Labour1yr1Y
There should be a limited standard curriculum to ensure all students are able to learn and access knowledge and transferrable skills. However, teachers should have flexibility in the curriculum of their schools, so that they can address the needs of each student and region.
@98SZ6ZH1yr1Y
There should be some requirements that schools have to teach, however teachers should teach the need of each student and religion
@98RRJ8Z1yr1Y
No, there shouldn't be any state schools
@974V27WConservative1yr1Y
Yes, the standard curriculum is fair for all students across the UK
@96X5V8M2yrs2Y
Yes, but it should only provide a guideline with room to adapt to each student's needs
@96VMN3F2yrs2Y
Academies should be able to have flexibility for non core subjects but non academy state schools shouldn't.

Yes all children deserve to have a good curriculum until they’re 18 at least
@96RHSVQ2yrs2Y
Teacher should teach the needs of each child and intergreate religion on a daily basis e.g assembly music lessons etc
The national curriculum should be an absolute minimum. Schools should be incentivised to go above and beyond for the brightest students.
@96Q59YL2yrs2Y
Yes, but the standard curriculum should teach life skills and academic ability
Yes, but the curriculum should be overhauled so it covers basic life skills and knowledge only with anything else being options.

A curriculum of skills to learn .encoraging cooperation and developing potential.
@964JPJR2yrs2Y

@962VZL82yrs2Y
Yes. However, there should be an emphasis on teaching students to problem-solve, think critically and analyse information, mental health and wellbeing and how to develop healthy relationships as well as practical skills like cooking, DIY and more encouragement for creativity.
No, there should be required topics and areas but the specifics should be decided by school and teacher
@95NZHLT2yrs2Y
have a standardised basis, but make it so teachers can be flexible about how long they spend on things and which of a variety of topics they do
@95KGML92yrs2Y
Most schools should but allow exemptions for special needs schools.
