I had doubts about posting this, Gilbert, but it was written and I wanted it out there for discussion. As you note, my main point is about curriculum, not EFI, but EFI is the hot topic.

I'm actually a little disillusioned that banning homework in school never became an issue here. Once again, children have no say in the matter, in spite of Canada being a signatory to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. You won't see any parents protesting homework outside the Legislature.

I'm still quite firmly against curriculum in education, as I believe that the only place for set curriculum is in training.
