a lot of resistance even back then but what
annoyed me was that people who resisted didn’t
go on the Social Education weekend. I felt
it was so good - you came to understand so
much of the course and yet you came back and
then you get peoplewho didn’t go putting up
all those obstacles.

The actual exercise itself emanated from the
look at total curriculum across the school
- and there was a sub-working party who did
preliminary
the whole
work for the weekend -
inviting
school staff - as it's
to
be a part of a much wider view and I don’t
think we’ve heard much about the other current.
Here the process of curriculum development and change locates itself
in the politics and organisation of the school and whilst the students
may not be absolutely clear on the details they are clear about the
context of the debate.

With the Social Education course were they
planning to have RE lessons separately or was
it all in Social Education.
RE Their idea was that if you teach Social Edu-
cation there won’t be RE in the IV and V year
so if this gets passed there won’t be RE all
the way through but the way things are going
at the moment - it's more likely to be RE.
SS2 What about HCP?
RE The idea in future is the HCP lesson that
they have will be an RE lesson - there is
evidently quite a push for School A to go
back to an eight lesson day because then they
could get in more RE.
