I’d like to hear from you on this problem of the overloaded primary school curriculum.

Teachers and principals across Australia are saying the emphasis on lifestyle education has just gone over the top, and they want to get back to the basics… What do you think?

• Are our children missing out on solid literacy and numeracy teaching?
 
• What about other basics like science, history, geography? Do you think young people are lacking a good education in these areas?
 
• Do you have primary aged kids, and if so, are the things they’re studying radically different to what you learnt at school?
 
• If you’re a teacher I’d love to hear from you too. Are the expectations placed on you, over the top?

• Or, do you think it’s important to teach these lifestyle topics? After all, some kids are really missing out at home, maybe you’re really helping set them up for life.

• Are trendy lifestyle topics causing our kids to miss out on the three R’s?
