 📚🌀Welcome to the United Kingdom’s premier game show: Who Wants to Rewrite the Curriculum? 🎤 Every time a new government gets the keys to the country, they seem to treat the national curriculum like a Spotify playlist—delete the last one, add some nostalgic throwbacks, and throw in a dash of political messaging. This week’s remix? Labour’s turn to “correct” what the Tories “restored,” while somehow dragging the BBC into a classroom lesson on fake news. Because nothing screams “balanced education” like teaching kids which state broadcaster is lying to them—during history class.

🎓 The Political Yo-Yo Syllabus – Now With Extra Spin!

Picture it: one minute, kids are memorising the Magna Carta like it’s gospel and learning why Churchill was everyone’s favourite grumpy grandad. Four years later? They’re being asked to fact-check the news and possibly decode government press releases for hidden bias—before they’ve even figured out long division.

Conservatives want to resurrect the good ol’ days where everyone knew their place, the Queen ruled over pink bits on the globe, and “British Values” meant Empire-lite for breakfast. Labour storms in, waving the banner of “modernisation,” but instead of finally fixing the chronic underfunding or teacher burnout, we’re now prioritising a crash course on spotting BBC propaganda? Because obviously that’s what the kids need before their GCSEs—media literacy to protect them from David Attenborough.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about improving education. This is about politicians treating schools like campaign headquarters, with pupils as unwilling interns in their ideological internship. 🎒

And the result? Teachers burning out, students confused, and parents wondering if algebra’s still a thing or if the curriculum now just includes a Netflix critique and a reenactment of Brexit.

Maybe—and hear me out—we stop swinging the educational pendulum like it’s tethered to Big Ben, and let some actual educators write a curriculum that lasts longer than a Parliament term. Just a thought. 🧠📅
