I don’t actually hate the curriculum and am more schoolish in my thinking possibly than many of you (again due to having had kids in school for 22 years) so this post is for those of you who do use it, or at least would like to have an overview of it…
This screenshot is of a mind-map I made in my first year of Home Ed as I wanted to see if it all actually made sense… did the learning areas have a flow?… Did they build?… Was it random?
Turns out it does flow, does build and isn’t random.
I actually like the basic structure and appreciate the way it builds from year to year. The further from the centre it goes – the more wordy and flabby it becomes, but the skeleton structure makes sense to me. If you’d like a the PDF of the single page map you can download it below. I had it printed at Officeworks on an A3 sheet as some of the detail gets lost any smaller than that.
