I don’t believe that teaching history has gone away from the teachings

Comment on Conservative Policies : Conservative Universities and Skills Policy by Abdullah Erkas.

I don’t believe that teaching history has gone away from the teachings of British history, I should know I do GCSE history. We learn about prisons, suffragettes, Tollpuddle Martyrs and WW1 and WW2. If this isn’t British history then what is?. Citizenship is and isn’t important because at GCSE its equivalent to half therefore no one really takes any interest in it however citizenship teaches a lot about the economy, environmental issues, communities ect. It builds on team work and tolerance of different ethnic backgrounds therefore an important subject and a significant subject in teaching us about what goes on in our society today. If you don’t know what social science is then why comment on it? because if you take away social science then what would you have to teach at schools. Social science is subjects like Law, History, Geography, Psychology, politics ect. Basically the theory subjects and I don’t think teaching goes away from the real science because its a core subject and one heavily concentrated on. To understand what really goes on in the education system its’s not enough to be a parent you have to be the student, teacher, governor ect. Finally I believe teachers should have the power to discipline students effectively and fairly so the disruptions don’t effect the learning of others because I have to say as a student we have a lot of power.
