Broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated.

This is apparently the kind of curriculum that will win LA approval.
In which case, my daughter's current diet of eating, sleeping and breathing her new Pokemon obsession should fit the bill as follows;

Broad - her obsession means she is engaged in using all the media forms Pokemon is marketed in; the card game, other board games, books, electronic media (games console and computer), the cartoon series and films.
Balanced - she spends about equal amounts of time on each (given the opportunity I am sure the cartoon watching would take up a lot more of her time, but due to the large number of episodes and the excruciating cost of the box sets, she is having to download them from the internet, from a site that times out after 70 mins for an hour unless you provide them with a subscription fee. We view this as No Bad Thing!)
Relevant - she is at the right level of understanding and maturity to really get into this phenomenon with whole-hearted enthusiasm.
Differentiated - she chose this 'field of study' herself after a friend asked her if she liked it. She started at the 'basic' level (Indigo League!) and has progressed at her own rate in each area of media as she has become more familiar and gained greater understanding of the subject.

I can see an LA official looking at this and assuming facetiousness on my part.

However. I am perfectly serious. A 10 year old mass-marketing campaign targeted with calculating accuracy at children designed solely to make as much cash from the sale of a game as possible really is currently forming the base of her education.

The card game is introducing her to counting in 10's, rapid subtraction and addition in her head, tactics and forward planning, accurate observation and improvement of working memory.
Watching her calculate the relationship between remaining hit points and damage taken, working out the best cards to play in what order to give herself the upper hand, having it pointed out to me forcefully that I can't do something because I have misread the number of energy cards I needed while her eagle eyes have noted the number of tiny symbols giving the real requirement from across the table and listening to her reel off the names of all the cards in her deck along with their strengths and weaknesses has been a revelation. As has learning that she is miles better at this game than me despite having 30 years more life experience than her plus previous exposure to this type of game!
The cartoon is introducing her to the idea that names are important - a hard concept for my highly visual, very non-aural child who assumes a discription like 'that girl there' works well as a discription of another child she has known for over 2 years. Having to differentiate between (literally!) hundreds of pokemon, many of whom are very similar and evolve into other, even more similar, creatures, means names are suddenly on the Radar for her. It is also introducing her to numbers over 20 (there are about 12 series, none with less than 30 episodes, many with far more.) If she wants to know where she has got to in a series before leaving it for the night, she has to recall the episode number she will need in the morning. I haven't watched all the episodes (I'm not an obsessed 5 year old!) but the ones I have seen have nice plots for a child's cartoon. She watched the sad/happy episode 'Bye bye Butterfree' about 5 times and frequently gives me plot rundowns of her favourites (comprehesion!). It is also bringing the concept of 'sharing' into sharp focus - this is what she needs to do with the computer, and it is proving a hard lesson for her!
The game console she figured out how to use fairly well through trial and error - she can'r read well enough to understand the written instructions. She sometimes gets me to use it for her, giving me detailled instructions on which Pokemon I need to find for her. I was impressed with how quickly she mastered what she needed to do without the instructions and her instructions to me show a deep understanding of Pokemon habitat, habits and skills. And mine!
It is also increasing her interest in learning to read - she knows it would be easier to play if she could read the on-screen instructions. Bringing me nicely onto the books, which are favoured bedtime reading fostering nicely a love of the written word and a desire to read the things herself instead of having to rely on the whim of a parent.

The whole phenomenon has also produced future career ambitions in her. Admittedly this consists of wanting to go off and become a Pokemon trainer when she is 10, but it is the first interest in what she will do when she is older I have ever heard her show.
oginary play, adding to the range and richness of characters and senarios at her disposal, it increases her social standing - a girl who knows her Pokemon has a lot of kudos with a sector of the juvenile population and provides common ground for starting up conversation - and it acts as muse for some of her artwork. It has provided her with a role-model (Ash) who she wishes to emulate and has increased her interest in physical pursuits (after all, you never know where you might find a new pokemon, so you need to be able to climb mountains, go caving, swim etc. etc. to become a true master) It has also provided some common ground and time together with her daddy (who freely admits the way she thinks is usually alien to him making it hard for him to play with her easily) as he has discovered she has as much interest and skill as he does in the card game.

So, yes, we are currently following the "Pokemon curriculm."
Yes, my daughter is learning from it. Learning a LOT from it, in fact.
Yes, it certainly fulfills my idea of a broad, balanced, relevant and differentiated curriculm.
Yes, it is autonomous learning. I don't 'teach' this curriculm, I merely facilitate it (mainly by spending my cash on Pokemon-related goods)
No, it certainly isn't the National Curriculm.
No, I doubt it would make the list of 'specific example' likely to be compiled by those who believe education can be measured and judged on a broad scale for the 'average child' despite knowing all children's needs and capabilities are different and that what comprises 'a good education' is impossible to define given our current level of knowledge of human intelligence and the constantly changing demands of living in a non-stagnant society.
No, I can't see an LA official signing off on a 12-month 'plan of action' entitled 'The Pokemon Curriculm'
No, I wouldn't have submitted this plan anyway. Pokemon came out of the blue in September. Prior to this, we were following 'The Dr. Who Curriculm'.

Do I care? Oh Yes. Because if the government has it's way, my daughter's current learning would not be allowed to exist in the form that it does. She would suffer for it.

I want to live in a society where I can watch the joy and enthusiasm on my child's face as she is allowed to run as far and as deep as she wants to go with a new interest when it emerges, not having to kill it dead with a 'later dear, right now we need to stick to the plan'
I want to live in a society where I can indulge her interests without fear that they will be used to force us into lifestyles we do not want or need by others who judge from the outside without knowing who we are.
I want to live in a society where it is understood that difference is worth nuturing rather than viewed with inate suspicion and that forced conformity breeds ignorance not cohesion.
I want to live in a society where every member my family is valued and accepted as an individual and our freedom and privacy respected, not treated as a member of a group of 'average' persons who do not have the knowledge or understanding to live without the help monitoring and 'support'.
I want to live in a society where government serves it's populace rather than controls it.
I don't want to live in a society whose government is increasingly passing laws far too reminisent of those of Nazi Germany and whose populace is accepting them in the same unthinking manner as they did in that historical state.
I don't want to live in a society whose laws are based on fear, suspicion and hate.
I don't want to live in a society made up only of of mindless follow-the-leader sheep, but one containing free-thinking goats who go their own route. And camels who spit in your face if they don't like you. And cows who think it's funny to stick their hooves in the milk pail. And dogs who show affection without restraint. And foxes who prefer the night to the day. And peacocks who show off. And every other 'type' you can think of. And every one of them is considered an asset.

I want to live in a society where my daughter can follow her 'Pokemon Curriculm' uninterupted.
I want to live in a society without the Badman Review.
