Education Circling The Bowl

Of course this was going to happen next:

Children should no longer be taught traditional subjects at school because they are “middle-class” creations, a Government adviser will claim today.

Professor John White, who contributed to a controversial shake-up of the secondary curriculum, believes lessons should instead cover a series of personal skills.

Pupils would no longer study history, geography and science but learn skills such as energy-saving and civic responsibility through projects and themes.

Now, before you load up the bandoliers, fix bayonets and start heating up the tar, allow me to point out that this is happening in Britain.
That’s not to say that it can’t happen here, of course—I bet there’s at least one “educator” in the California public school system who has identical beliefs—so let this serve as a warning to us all.


As for you guys in the UK… words fail me.
