Schools

I am with Rich on this one but can I ask the original question again aimed at any teachers out there who may be teaching this subject? What will you be teaching on this subject? How are you going to cover it?

The teaching of climate change and global warming in schools is dogged by "omission, simplification and misrepresentation", leading scientists have claimed.

Richard Pike, the chief executive of the Royal Society of Chemistry, is calling for a review group to help look at how the issues should be tackled in the classroom - and avoid flawed presentations to pupils.

What say you now Smudger? I don't ask this because I am trying to get your back up or anything like that, but as a parent, who with one lad in 6th form and the other 2 years behind, what's the point of making it part of the NC, Has Ed balls nothing better to do?

Regards,

Rich.

Having CC as part of the NC is something different than having it in a topic within for instance science when appropiate. I do find it good if they review the classes thought by teachers (applies for any subject) to improve on the quality and correctness. If put on the NC (why the hell in the first place) what is it going to be about? The causes of CC (what version), the mechanisms in our climate (would be a bit advanced I believe), how to counter CC and improve our environment (very very bad in my view (propeganda springs to mind)).

Having slogged my way through Smudger's links Christian I feel that the scope is far too large for any in depth learning. Whether that is good or bad I know not.

In teaching CC, I wonder how teachers will explain why our wonderful government has refused to abolish parking changes at hospitals because it would be "Contrary to the government's climate change objectives".

You couldn't make it up!!

Where exactly in my statement was any form of anti teacher remark?
Try reading it again with perhaps a more open mind ****!
I questioned the breadth of the curriculum did I not, and also admitted that I was undecided whether that breadth was good or bad.
Where was there any criticism of teachers?
