I woke up in a good mood this morning. Then I read the above "geog bashing", it appears the author took the random sample of 3 of her own children and based her "geog bashing" on this all encompassing research. She does make some valied points (two I think). Also I have never met a kid who does not find an Atlas awesome! [This message has been edited by add (edited 09 July 2006).] IP: Logged |

How disappointing that Hilary Wilce was a helpless onlooker, unable to pass on her apparent enthusiasm for Geography to her own children. IP: Logged |

Great article - Geographical on the tin; geography within: Evoking a sense and spirit of place, experiencing actual landscapes, picturing and imagining places, social change, place marketing and the impact of mass tourism, whaling, the international fashion industry. All sounds very familiar - Key Stage 3geography anyone? Kathryn Hughes must be commended for making explicit her geographical perspective which clearly informs and influences her writing and experiences through this article. IP: Logged |

I found that I agreed with quite a lot of the Independent article. And I lay the blame for so called 'boring geography' firmly at the feet of the govt and its dulling centralist Nat Curric/ managerialism tendencies over the last decade and a half. All those grey, careerists depress me to tears for what they will sacrifice simply for their own gain. ian IP: Logged |

Last post before the summer hols ! Ian, given the interesting, creative and dynamic nature of what is to be found on the SLN website, much of it produced within the confines of the National Curriculum, I find it difficult to come to the conclusion that you do in that boring geography is all the result of the government and the national curriculum. Life, as Talk Talk (the 80's band not the telephone provider) is what you make it. Have a good break eveyone and return refreshed and enthusiastic. Stuart IP: Logged |

Matt Rosenberg's 'About Geography' newsletter came through today with this rference to GGiP. http://geography.about.com/b/a/257602.htm?nl=1 I have also noticed, in the Mail on Saturday an advertisement from HP, showing whar a good job its printer did .. on a piece of geography coursework! Lastly, I was free-reading the BBc's History Today magazine in Tesco's and I see they have a similar campaign to elevate the image of history. Only difference is, they have the might of the BBC to do it .. plus the odd History Channel or two on TV! IP: Logged |

I just accidently opened a link to BBC Shop http://www.bbcshop.com/icat/11?ivtype=dvd:video&htxt=IG1VeLV49uxkcoqRxeOP2gAcoxOjQqmDtqGPRdvtNqo2yvXYKSUnj8UQ3BpcwNnjlmvn91qG2wUZ%0AJVx3A9NxTQ%3D%3D It comes as no suprise that under science and nature at least six of the titles would be better described as Geography. Good luck with the campaign - I will be out of cyber contact for the next few weeks and look forward to catching up on the debate. IP: Logged |

What about without the 'confines of the National curriculum'? Likely to be less boring I would suggest and more about creativity, independent thinking and less reliance on what has been produced centrally by others. That's all I meant. Hope summer hols are going well. Regards, Ian Murray IP: Logged |
