This dictionary is reflective of the move away from a curriculum in which subject based teaching must pander to a themes approach. How can a child discover words when they are removed or missing?
The schools curriculum is the excuse for therapeutic approaches to be foisted upon children. Teachers are directly responsible for the unopposed attack on their profession. Teachers will be replaced by facilitators.
The Oxford University Press brand has been damaged by this debacle. One can only hope that disaffected teachers and parents refuse to buy a product, the Oxford Junior Dictionary, which is clearly unfit for purpose.
