Have a Good NEWS

study was not able to play from the back end, so why mess with the history of our nation?

Each argument in the history of the English Civil War is relived. Catholic Roundheads Cavaliers fight, fight Protestants, fights left to right, fights change tradition. Echoing in the corridor of time is the old question: which side they were on Marston Moor

The problem with the current line curriculum about the history of Michael Gove coats have become. The "progressive" curriculum reform Roundheads 2007 Work went gentleman. His story is an abstraction of swashbuckling empathy, identity, expression of revolt glorious and free. Their icons are wives of Henry VIII, Wilberforce, Seacoale Mary and Hitler. This is all fluff and stories.

Massed against them are the Black Knights new Gove model army. At times Wednesday, Colonels went online daily - Andrew Roberts, David Starkey, Niall Ferguson, Antony Beevor, Jeremy Black and others. Gove is your man. They may well have been men, but now the drum of the fact and date. They start at the beginning and end to end. His story is driven by the cold steel of cause and effect.

Gove wants history teaches us saga-like, at a time great stone arch temporary Margaret Thatcher. He wants to see the peaks and valleys, events, leaders, heroes and heroines, presented sequentially, from primary school to secondary school. Everything else - the society, industry, immigration, the rest of the world - should hang in essentially political skeleton

Gove Here's an obvious problem with what critics have hay. Five years seems a little young to start in the culture vessel and Saxon Heptarchy (although they do very well with the dinosaurs). Gove and learn about the nations and over time, with a simple vision of famous faces. It took the key step two, eight, will be launched with prehistoric man. But since the subject is still below the salt programs and stops at the age of 14, just six years ago to tell the greatest story ever told.

The result was an explosion. Historians are like bishops and generals with too much time to write in newspapers. Letters pages were derided Gove "... breathless ... past hunting bumpy ride at a gallop." The Historical Association, and a union, accusing him of "raising a lot of trouble ... not content with the level of expected ... where is the money for resources? ". Said he, not without irony, that its members need more" training "to teach history.

I joined the Roundheads the day my son supposedly taught "all about the Second World War," I asked, "What is the first?" His story was a screen that made no sense, no sense of causality. It was like Pride and Prejudice was cut and reassembled by William Burroughs, a set of tables offline.

I do not see how the evolution of a nation must be understood without a knowledge of how it came to be - not causal, but controversial, its political evolution. This means dates and participants of the determinants of events. Topics empathy progressive empowerment, imperialism, slavery and democracy are only illustrations trials unless plugged into the power of story.

In this I am clear. History and geography have been since Cinderella Thatcher invented the new state curriculum in 1987. She was determined to ram amounts of tedious mathematics and science from the throats of children, to the detriment of the "left" of history and geography.

As cultural historian Daniel Boorstin wrote themes as had long been repressed by the medieval church as normative and controversial. Rule was "objective" logic, mathematics, and theology, where students could not answer.
