I was listening to the radio earlier and they were mentioning a conservative plan to "weight" the core subjects (maths, science and English) more heavily than subjects such as media studies when compiling the league tables.
This made me think, what subjects should be included in the free education? Should things like media studies/travel and tourism even be offered or do they subtract from the time that can be spent on more key subjects?
If you think that "light" subjects should not be offered which ones do you think should be?
Personally I think that they should not be offered, they are primarily there to let the less able students pass something. I think that the timetable space should be used to ensure that these students leave school at least able to write and do basic maths,
My subjects would be
compulsory
English lang
Maths
Physics
Chemistry
Biology
History
Geography
Home economics
A foreign language
Voluntary;
Art
another Language
Religious studies
music
a craft or design subject
IT.
English Literature
I may have missed a few but not many. Any other subjects are better tackled at college or in university. and in the case of some NEVER at the expense of the taxpayer.
