Abstract
This article identifies some of the frustrations felt by a classroom practitioner as a result of the restrictions generated by current demands for accountability, and the limiting effect these can have on children's learning experiences. It goes on to consider the liberating impact of a more organic way of organising the curriculum, which allows teachers and students to collaborate in choosing the issues they will address together, and which encourages teachers to plan material which engages the hearts and minds of their classes.
