When I first saw the Scottish 'Curriculum for Excellence' I was utterly horrified. Pages and pages of complex ideas and principles - not at all helpful for busy teachers.Scottish Conservatives call for 'reset' of Curriculum for Excellence

The Scottish Conservatives are calling for significant changes to the programme that underpins Scottish education.
The party said Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) needed to be "reset".
It said the scheme's principles were sound but that improvements were needed.
The Scottish government said CfE provided young people with "a well-rounded education" and was "broadly endorsed in Scotland".
Scotland's largest teaching union, the EIS, said the biggest problems with CfE were staff and resources.
In a newly-published paper, the Conservatives made five key recommendations to improve the delivery of Curriculum for Excellence.
