It seems idealistic in some ways to think
you can carry on an integrated course perhaps
as you do in Primary School, you've got to
timetable the
curriculum
and by the time
you get to 12 (years) I
don't think there
are all that many competent adults who could
integrate in lessons - bring in Maths, Reli-
gion, Philosophy.
SS2 That’s just because you’ve never experienced
anything different.
Tutor
It is a basic objection - who are those inte-
grated teachers - the very fact of going
through
that
system
us specialists,
some more than others
Ml You’d have to be a damned good teacher to
do it.
SS2 But that’s not a good enough reason for not
doing it.
Tutor If we're starting from the problems of one
teacher teaching his or her subject to a
class we’re not only into a political issue
but a practical, organisational and teacher
training issue.
Eng You’d surely have to have separate teachers
either working together advising each other
and hopefully you’d breed a whole generation
of people - you know, eventually it could
support itself - at first it would be diffi-
cult .
SS2 I think it depends on how willing teachers
are to do it. I mean it is very threatening
- I think if you’re committed to it.
