sky,And all I ask is a tall ship and a
star to steer her by…
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.

Piracy
Nothing to do with
me – I teach maths
I believe in these but we can’t fit
them into the already crowded
curriculum
All very well, but I know nothing about these areas
Can’t do it – no resourcesWhy can’t students and teacher decide what matters to them?
(or…fill in the gap)
Nothing more than tokenism

Uncertain climates
They don’t provide both sides of the
story
These are politically
driven
The priorities exclude other
cultures
