Rejected petition NO MORE FRONTED ADVERBIALS - LET KIDS BE CREATIVE
I want the Government to reconsider the English language curriculum for primary school children so they can be given more freedom and space to be creative in their writing.
More details
Primary children are being forced to learn the mechanics of the English language way beyond what I believe to be necessary and I think it will stunt our future creatives.
I understand the need for teaching the basics of English Language - but I believe the current curriculum is turning writing into a burden.
It doesn't matter to a child what a fronted adverbial or relative clause is - what does matter is that our children are given the time and space be creative in their writing.
