do you forget the lessons of each history lesson?
actually, i have a bone to pick with the "educators" about how
history and geography, and a lot of other things are
taught...
they treat them as if they were all mutually exclusive...
history is shaped by the physical geography and vice-versa..
which in turn forces some scientific advances which changes how the
civilisation moves...
these things are also shaped by political forces which comes back
to history...
anthropology, and all that can be fit into the whole thing as one
looks at the links...
with these things, you can introduce the sciences and math..
everything can be taught as a whole.. not piecemeal which will bore
the hell out of the student and narrow his mind...
imagine, you are exposed to the cause and effect of history... and
how one thing can lead to changes in others.. almost a butterfly
effect..
how interesting would studies be!
in the primary stages, teach them ABCs, basic math and languages..
i figure languages are underrated simply because without language,
ideas fail..
secondary stages, this can be laid out for them instead of this
incessant and pathological pursuit of A's in the O and A
Levels..
then later in life, in tertiary education, let them learn the
specifics and specialise.. and they will appreciate what they are
getting themselves into..
this may also inspire in them the joy of discovery, rather than
treating knowledge as only something to use in order to attain more
material wealth...
