[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sounds terrible. Two teacher household here, both elementary[b]. Memorization hasn't been a "thing" for many, many years. Neither of us even have any study guides[/b].[/quote] Memorization hasn't been a 'thing'? What subjects are you teaching? My child had to memorize multiplication facts - and for good reason, 'thing' or no 'thing'. Now they're studying American history in Social Studies and are expected to know the dates of the Seven-year war along with names of various acts and public figures involved. Are you saying they don't need to memorize that information?[/quote] I’m saying memorization for the sake of simply memorizing is not what we do. They need to know the information (multiplication facts for example) and the concept behind the facts. Know the dates, but understand why they are important, cause and effect relationships, etc.[/quote]
