On a personal note I have shifted to a new ACE inhibitor which has a 20% better record at keeping heart patients alive. I have also gone on to diuretics (yes someone is always taking the p***!)
IT (Information Technology) is a source of great awe and wonder. It is a source of fun. It is a means of communicating with other pupils all over the world. It provides access to a world of information. It allows you to express yourself creatively and to talk to the world through your own webpage, creating new knowledge as well as sharing.
None of this is understood by the government. On the contrary. To the government IT is training for work, a means to promote Microsoft, a way to bore the a** off every student.
The only way the program of study can be of use is if teachers subvert (sorry "adapt creatively") to match the needs of their pupils. I have a modest example on my webpage.
And why on earth did they have to change the name to ICT so email partners across the world do not know what my form are talking about?
