Re: Well done, Ozzies.

That's impressive. Those numbers massively outstrip other English-speaking countries, don't they?

Anyone got an analysis as to why?

Re: UK government agency approves fundamentalist curriculum

I'm trying not to be a drive-by blogger and actually participate – I will start posting in threads other than my own. Promise. The Naric recommendation doesn't approve the curriculum for UK state schools, no. It does mean that ACE graduates in the UK can get a certificate from Naric, a government ag...

Re: UK government agency approves fundamentalist curriculum

It is a minority pursuit – it's used by 2000 pupils in the UK, probably. There are 60 schools that use it, but they're all tiny. In my mind, that doesn't make it any less of a problem.

UK government agency Naric has once again endorsed the Accelerated Christ...

Re: Leaving Fundamentalism, a blog by Jonny

Hiya, Jonny! Glad you joined up. We do have a couple of people who escaped fundamentalism in one way or another. If they don't find you and this thread first, I'll point them in this direction. I had a few brushes with fundamentalism when I was young, but the people in those places at those times w...
