    Curriculum Feedback

    by Stephanie, over 3 years ago

    Hello,

    My name is Stephanie Fitzgerald. I am a parent and teacher and wanted to reach out with regards to the curriculum draft that has been proposed by the UCP government.

    While I believe there are benefits to piloting any new curriculum in classroom settings before fully integrating it into our education system, I feel that this particular draft has far too many flaws to warrant the time and energy it takes to even pilot the draft.

And, where is the introduction then of no belief - atheism or new spiritual movements. This shouldn't be in an elementary public grade school classroom. If I wanted my children to learn about Catholicism I would have enrolled in the Catholic system.
