Abstract: He was an alert lad with well above average intelligence, but apart from sport and a partiality for listening to good stories, he seemed disinterested in schooling.All of my motivating mechanisms had failed and while he was not troublesome, it was of concern that school was an unrewarding experience.One day as we strolled through the bush together on a class exercise, I felt he began taking me into his confidence when he shattered all propriety with -"If I go to Grade Six I will be a good drover; if I go to high school I will be the same drover, so I will stay in Grade Three!"In this paper it is intended to discuss three principles of policy which are also appropriate as principles of curriculum.Hopefully, however, such an approach will allow for practical applications and a consideration of grass roots problems.
