Curriculum Narrowing: Why Your Child’s School Day Might Be Shrinking (Part 1)

Hello everyone! It has been an age, hasn’t it! I’ve been busy raising a toddler, launching a YouTube channel, and trying to keep my head above water—it’s been a whole thing.  We’re also trying to declutter the house, which seems to be the ultimate Sisyphean task, and I’m so tired all the time! I think… I think my child might be an energy vampire. Who do I see about that? Today, I’m diving into a topic that is very close to my heart and was the focus of my MA research at UCL: Curriculum Narrowing . You might have noticed your child coming home talking more about "SPaG" and "Arithmetic" than the Romans or watercolours. There’s a reason for that, and it’s not just a random choice by their teacher.
