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.

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.

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 High school is far too out of date and out of touch.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.

I believe all schools should follow a standardised national curriculum to ensure equal access to education for all pupils, regardless of the type of school they attend. A consistent curriculum would help ensure that every child is taught the same core knowledge and skills, reducing inequalities between schools and regions.
While schools may benefit from some flexibility in how subjects are delivered, the content and educational standards should remain consistent, so no pupil is disadvantaged by where they are educated.

The national curriculum should be completely reformed. Functional skills qualifications should be required from Year 7 to Year 9 with the option to complete GCSEs in core subjects in Year 10 and Year 11. For those not wishing to take GCSEs in core subjects, a greater variety of what would be optional GCSE subjects should be made available and these should be linked to the local area and businesses where possible.

Follow a basic curriculum for maths and English especially for life e.g. household planning, pensions and ability to discuss verbally and in writing ideas and theories. More variety of choice dependent on learners needs and interests. Equivalent half day creativity art, music, gardening and half day physical activity.

No, but important socio-cultural issues should be addressed and a curriculum of core skills should be targeted. Learning should be more individualised and more control given to the students, this might inspire more students and actually lift the veil on learning for them instead of it being about learning anything specifically.

Yes but I think we should adopt a new teaching system similar to the Steiner method of teaching as it gives kids a more well rounded consistent education instead of cramming for exams and the forgetting the information straight after p, it also gives student more freedom to explore which subjects they like at a more in depth specific level instead of asking them to choose what they want to do at 18 with little to no experience of any of their options

In an ideal world each student would be taught to their specific needs. However in an over populated school this is not achievable for teachers and there must be a standardised datum that they can refer to. A good teacher (given sufficient time and resources) should be able to assist students requiring further help
