Suggesties voor Crevits' eindtermencampagne - gerapt door Dave Brown:  -don't stay in school! Vervang huidige eindtermen/leerplannen  door zaken die praktisch zijn in het dagelijks leven.

There’s a video called Don’t Stay in School and it’s by a passionate young rapper called Dave Brown. (zie voor video you tube bijlage onderaan deze bijdrage.)  I delight in effort, and earnestness, and zeal, and what I know about rap could be comfortably encompassed by the lasso of a Times New Roman zero. But the video is an angry attack on the school curriculum and how we teach it, so .

Dave stands in a country lane and spits truth to power about what he thinks should be on the school curriculum, and what it should replace; something that I’d be keen to see the secretary of state do now and again, frankly. And boy, is he angry. For your comfort and ease, I have summarised his ‘one in, one out’ demands:

Things that should go to school,

How to get a job
 How to pay tax
 How to vote
 How to look after your health

Current events
 What laws there are (HE WAS NEVER TAUGHT WHAT LAWS THERE ARE, he’s particularly annoyed about this)

Financial Advice
 My human rights. Apparently there’s 30. Do you know them? I DON’T
 Reciting these rights by rote
