There has been years of diverse opinions on how the school curriculum should be a stepping stone to life beyond school. There should be some clear connection, a relevance. Is this how to do it? Consider the students, consider the region and voila! https://t.co/Xcc3Eanetf pic.twitter.com/wodINT0weA

Radical thoughts...New subject groupings?
— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) September 26, 2020
1. Awareness of land - Land+animal management incl. Aboriginal culture esp cool burning+gardening
2. Science - Botany, geology+astronomy attract more focus
3. Creativity - Art, Poetry, Drama+Music
4. English and Maths=connector literacy
You may notice that History has no mention. History can be a focus topic in any of the above subjects, opening the door to an understanding that History is far more than events + politics. History would then help to build an understanding of where we have been in these subjects.

Geography too has no special mention. It could be a vital focus topic in the awareness of land...hand in hand with History + wherever else it could enhance an understanding of a subject. History and Geography should not be exclusive, stand-alone subjects.

Welcome to 2020 (and beyond we hope)...the year the world overturned with covid-19. This blog is intended to be an insight into my experiences this year - being wary of infection, but learning to live - see, think, wonder - differently. If you choose to comment, be supportive please. Thank you. Be safe. Namaste.
