History, geograhy and economics back

This seems like a good idea to me. You have to elarn the fundamentals before the specifics.

http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/States-move-away-from-sad-curriculums/2007/04/24/1177180600594.html

The traditional school subjects history, geography and economics will return to a national school curriculum agreed upon by all state and territory governments, The Australian newspaper reports.

A report on the future of schooling outlines plans for the three subjects to replace subjects such as environmental and legal studies.

The plan commits the governments to refocus the catch-all subject, Studies of Society and Environment (SOSE), which has been overtaken with modern topics over traditional subjects, the newspaper says.

"Studies of Society and Environment has been criticised by a number of commentators, partly because its focus is not clear from the label," the report says. "It has become increasingly clear that what should be studied under this label are the disciplines of history, geography and economics."



Return to traditional lessons 'sensible'

What great news.  Smiley

I really hated the 'new-age' idea of 'SOSE.' Whoever thought of it was an idiot.
