Yes, my reply focused entirely on the “Embed EA specifically as part of the curriculum” part of this. Encouraging ethics to be taught more widely is its own conversation, and one I haven’t though much about. the downside risks in terms of reputational harm to EA are obviously much smaller, though I think the “poor first impression” concern still holds some water. In my experience, non-examinable but compulsory parts of the school curriculum tend not to be taken particularly seriously by either teaching staff or students.
I’ve slightly edited my post above to clarify how I think the downside risks I mentioned apply specifically in the case of board curriculum change.
