The experts agree: children are too enclosed. Lessons about Britain’s flora and fauna could be the answer..... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/apr/01/studying-nature-children-planet-gcse |

My Mother used to teach Primary School children outdoors during the late 40s , 50s , 60s and early 70s in London . it's always been a good idea , i just wish more would be done about it .... taken seriously . One day maybe it will The Natural History GCSE is an excellent suggestion but i expect many of the Government would think it's not essential Thanks for the link Dave

You are probably right Jen but i can think of a number of subjects that are far less essential. |
