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 High school is far too out of date and out of touch.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.
@4ZGDQX34yrs4Y
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

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.
@596VTSG4yrs4Y
A standard curriculum should take up no more than 50% of the school week.
@4WZ8RFJ4yrs4Y
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.

No, y debemos privatizar más escuelas para que libremente los docentes y padres de familia armen el currículo sin influencia estatal.
