Teachers stunned after new science curriculum has no physics, biology or chemistry

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2023/07/teachers-stunned-after-new-science-curriculum-has-no-physics-biology-or-chemistry.html

Science teachers are stunned that a very early draft of the revised science curriculum makes no mention of physics, biology or chemistry.

Newshub has obtained the document, which was sent to a few teachers for their feedback.

Some of them were so alarmed they went public.

Doug Walker is the Head of Science at St Patricks College in Wellington.

"The moments I really thrive on are when you see that dawning epiphany on a student's face," Science Teacher Doug Walker said.

He has an absolute blast teaching science.

However, Doug is among a number of teachers who're worried after seeing a leaked draft of the revised school science curriculum.

"I was quite surprised and concerned about what seems to be missing from the document," he said.

That document proposes to teach science through five contexts - including the Earth system, biodiversity, and infectious diseases.

But nowhere in the draft does it actually mention teaching the basics of science, like physics, chemistry or biology.

"Major areas of science can't be seen in the document, to me the curriculum should be explicitly stating what, how and when to teach certain concepts to students".

Physics educators aren't happy either, and fear students could leave school without knowing the basics.

"We have a draft curriculum that doesn't even mention physics, it's very high level," NZ Physics Institute President, Joachim Brand said.

"We are not trying to get rid of physics, chemistry and biology," Science Curriculum Co-Writer Cathy Buntting said.

Cathy Buntting co-wrote the draft curriculum and says it's about modernising our curriculum.

"It's proposing to teach those subjects differently, not operating in the silos that have been traditionally the structure of science education in secondary schools".

The Ministry of Education said in a statement any speculation on the curriculum is premature, as this is a very early draft.

A proper draft document will go out for wider feedback in August, and will give educators time to have their say and make changes.

Teachers like Doug just hope they'll all be able to get onto the same wavelength soon.

This semester in Science(tm) class we will be learning about how climate change is real, that there is only one race, the human race and how covid was the most deadly disease ever, with antivaxxers killing millions. And remember children if you are struggling to come up with the right answer in your tests, just ask yourself, what would the trusted science experts say?

I posted in another thread a while ago about how bad they're fucking over nz education. It's got so bad in the past few years it's accelerated like I'd never have believed.
First warning for me was seeing the university library removing HUGE chunks of the science sections to replace it with "Matauranga Maori," (means Maori knowledge, for the non NZ anons) and political shit. A 2 digit number of shelves of books were taken away and replaced with their political meme nonsense. Another library was completely closed down and those guys told me the books were just being sold off elsewhere.
Academics have been forced to resign after saying things like they don't think Maori knowledge should be considered equal to scientific knowledge, or that science is not a tool of colonialist oppression. Not lowly postdocs either, but high up academic staff getting pushed out for saying a single word against it.
Not only that, but the high school curriculum is also being hacked away at. Now, the mathematics curriculum has subjects removed like it's no big deal. Unless students are enrolled in international qualifications like IB or Cambridge, they are no longer taught even basic concepts like the binomial theorem. That's been cut, and replaced with nothing. The calculus papers have been drastically simplified, to the point that you can look up exams from a few years ago and watch the students being significantly dumbed down in only a decade. We went from having high literacy scores and relatively good mathematical knowledge in our kids to having them now know less than a student in Europe, Asia, or Russia 2 years younger than them. Even the difference between a New Zealander who graduated 5-10 years earlier than them is big. We can see them moving backwards in real time. Every single NZ-born student I have met this year is worse off than almost any other student from a civilised country. Oh and now they have a race based medical waiting list - whites and Asians to the back.

I finished school in NZ about a decade ago and considered it reasonably good to the point that people going to uni were basically repeating their year 12/13 studies. Recently my partners mum, who is a HS teacher showed me some of the year 11 and 12 NCEA papers and dude what a fucking joke. Maths that I learned when I was nine years old, jeet tier esl questions that can be hard to understand wtf they want you to do, the English paper had half of it dedicated to fucking social media shit asking the students to comment on the meaning of emoji reacts to posts. Apparently these papers had abysmal pass rates too. Lol civilisation is done bro, who is gonna maintain anything even slightly complex?

English is even worse. The new English curriculum now explicitly says the students are expected to become advocates for equity with their English education.
I'm glad I graduated back when we actually seriously studied Shakespeare and Cormac McCarthy. You're now unironically going to be expected to regurgitate propaganda in order to get a high school qualification. It's very similar to the Chinese moral education courses.

Yeah that's right. I said they're overrepresented but they're a tiny fraction of the population.
The point is that this particular agenda is driven by the Maori Iwi groups and people like Nanaia Mahuta, not by Jews themselves.

they make a fuckton off the way they've structured the law so that Iwi are basically these groups/gangs which automatically maintain huge political influence but almost never need to be subject to the actual laws, they also control a lot of natural resource rights as well as having connections to organised crime
Obviously Jews have outsized influence but it's lazy to just say "it's Jews" without even considering the actual situation. There's more than one group of people in NZ with their own ethnic interests. In this case you can literally just name specific people who are behind these policies and pushing back against them requires you to not remain ignorant about how the process works.

>> No.15549615

>>15549609
Also, another reason this is just lazy is that the Maori faction is almost always very strongly ANTI-immigration, whereas your typical Jewish neoliberal like John Key is almost always pro-immigration, and you usually wind up with infighting because of this. Part of the reason the Maori cultural stuff is so influential in NZ right now (i.e. after Ardern became PM) is because the Maori party almost never wants to work with National because they know they want to flood the country with Asians for muh GDP and muh house prices, so they went with Ardern, but then they wangled their way into a position where the cabinet would pretty much fall apart if anyone went against the foreign minister Nanaia Mahuta's agenda (she's pretty much the closest thing to Maori royalty you could get, and she probably had way more influence on the government than the actual PM at the time, so she was free to write bills which handed over resource management to Maori only and she even rewrote a bill literally less than 1 day after it going through parliament lol). Basically they put the entire government in a headlock and rammed through every policy they could that favoured Maori at the expense of everyone else.

>representing
i assume he set the ratio by race and not by voting
so by his logic he divide the percent of race representation 75% with the number of race associate presidents 39
[math]
(0.75/39)*100 = 1.92%
[/math]
and the population percent of jews with the number of jewish presidents
[math]
(0.11/3)*100 = 3.66%

as you can see this result differently.
then divide these values(with the wrong 0.037) and result with 51.
