Unless I've grossly misunderstood Tom's initial > request. I was in my pre-judiced (sic) way trying to find out just how inefficient they could make it. They've done an amazing job. As a parent I would like to be able to see what they're meant to be teaching my kids and its pretty much impossible to find out. Surely they could have a web page with a course/stage matrix table with clickable links to the course requirements (and all the specious metadata) The course requirements should then be in small bite sized blocks of simple HTML that a teacher or parent can then copy and expand on to create 'lessons' and tests that could then be published (shared) on a WIKI (or similar) by registered teachers and accessed by parents/carers. I could then, after a few clicks find out what my kids are meant to be learning rather than finding out how (if the teachers could even control the kids) well meaning the whole thing is and how we go forward and all that pathetic setting of boundaries etc is done.
