ABSTRACT

Comment: Your stint there, 1988, the Baker Act. Enter the National Curriculum (NC).

Response: Right. Comment: So you get that dumped on your head and you didn’t even know what

you had bought. Response: That’s right. Question: What did that do to you? Answer: Not a lot in the sense that most of us signed up to the National

Curriculum anyway in theory and principle. We thought that a broad banded curriculum for young people was realistic. It was well on the way when I arrived. There was a fairly full diet, mathematics, English, science, technology was the thing we increased.
