Dumbed down syllabuses?

Yes, I do accept “syllabuses” as an English plural these days, but you may have “syllabi” if you prefer… See Ask Oxford.

There is some good discussion on education happening on Mikey’s Blog at the moment, particularly on whether the Science courses in schools have been “dumbed down.” Do check the comments there as well. Great to see such thinking in a teacher-to-be.

And now Mikey has gone and written a follow-up entry. I note too he seems to have invented a rather good word in his other entry today: “My bestmate Sarge and I tottled down to uni for the Shute Shield Woods-Uni game yesterday…” I like it: kind of toddled mixed with tottered. Was that the idea?

Would you believe Mikey has just posted Teaching Science III? Go and read them all if you are at all interested in education. It’s great stuff.
