Your thoughts on education are radical compared to what I've heard all my life, yet I feel this is the most reasoned approach to education I've ever read. Honestly, I barely remember much about the history & science I took in high school & college. I've learned more about history at least since I've been a working woman.<br /><br />I will freely admit that the amount of math I'd have to take influenced my major in college, moreso than my thoughts about a future career. And it's never held me back, either.<br /><br />I wish that more parents & schools actually thought about how individual students learn & what information would be most USEFUL for kids to absorb, rather than a list of should's that go in one ear & out the other. <br /><br />Also, we'd be a lot better off if life skills had been part of either high school or college curriculum as far back as when I was in school. Budgeting, cooking, conflict resolution for families & couples, basic car maintenance . . . <br /><br />love reading your thoughts!<br />JKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
