Subject: RE: FW: School Geography
What are you lot on?? As a geography teacher and writer of text books i
too have a concern for the falling numbers of geography students (although
generally not in my school - although we have had a dip at gcse levl for
the first time this year). What is needed is for university departments
to stop sending out expensive brochures in full colour with boring details
of the university and its course but rather to send out student friendly
(i.e. not up themselves) pamphlets and posters identifying the many social,
environmental, physical, political, religious, scientific issues which
geographers
are able to put into context in a way no other subject can. It is the most
important subject in the curriculum and if we fail to get our message across
............... ?
