Good idea but ultimately I can see a lot of opposition to teaching kids to stick a sharp piece of steel in an animals mouth and drag it out of it's natural habitat...

I also seem to remember an article that gp's to prescribe fishing for depression and anxiety conditions but don't know if that ever took off.
I suffered bad with depression and anxiety for a while signed off of work n claiming. My Dr and DWP work coach told me to fish as often as I could afford.
Lures for bass and carp fishing.
I suffered bad with both and just going into the job centre I was a mess shaking and sweat running off of me. Even the work coach said she would not give me a job turning up for an interview like I did to see her.
But them telling me to do it and with a change in life has probably saved my life.
I live in a different place now enjoy my life and work. I don't carp fish atm but still lure and sea fish.
Ps. That was not easy to admit.

I've been a teacher for 20+ years, let me tell you, fishing will not be taught in schools due to timetable constraints, the continual push forward to ensuring every young person has literacy and numerical skills. You might get a couple of 'wayward' students in each borough being removed from classes to engage with this, but if people think students are going to see a new curriculum where day to day lessons include, Maths, History, Physics, English Lit & Fishing are very delusional

Around 15 years ago I worked in a city school with the KS4 pupils that had behavioural issues and part of my job was to find them external provisions such as Norwich CityFootball club and Forest rangers .
Do you think this will be along the lines of that ?

If it ever happens, it will be part of some sort of 'alternative curriculum' for those students who struggle to engage in class/school. My school currently work with Chelsea FC who create programs for disengaged students, tbf, it's really good. This will be the only way that fishing will be brought into schools.

My wife has just retired after 40+ years teaching and when I told her about this she just rolled her eyes and said "instead of what exactly?".

Plenty of time on her hands to hold a few classes down at your lake Andy.
Hope your well
