Here is a huge question for anyone thinking about becoming a primary school teacher or is already a primary school teacher. Which is the most important subject in your opinion to teach the children and why?
It is totally up to others opinions and thus there will be no judgement from myself or others (hopefully) it would just be great to hear what others value as the most important subjects to teach in the primary curriculum to them.
I'll start off. So personally I think that children should be active so i say PE would be top, probably then maths as they can use maths in preparation for after academia, however i do understand and have much respect for English (literacy) as children need to be creative. So there are my top three: 1.PE 2. Maths 3. English (literacy).

I don't think it's really possible to do a strict ranking. You say that literacy is important as students need to be creative, but I would say the most important reason to teach literacy is just so children can exist in society without being excessively challenged by filling out a simple form, reading a sign, or searching for information online. It's important for students to be active, but at the end of the day, they're capable of being active and getting exercise without being taught how to do so, whereas most kids won't learn to read if they aren't taught how to do it in school.
