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. Of course, I'm biased because I was in that education system. But – and perhaps this is shooting myself in the foot...

Re: UK government agency approves fundamentalist curriculum

Hi everyone, I am here to pimp a blog post. I realise this looks like a drive-by spamming, since I post here so infrequently, but this matter is so important that I don't care what you think of me as long as you pay attention. 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...
