[quote=Anonymous]Very important question/thread. Our kid is not there yet, but I have some hopes for changes regarding the future of education: I agree with the people who mentioned critical thinking, problem solving, writing skills, analytical skills. If most subjects were taught with a focus on that, you have the tools to learn any new content. Aside from that, World history, international relations, geography, are subjects that need a curriculum overhaul IMHO. I cringe when I read about memorization of capitals, or the current state of history teaching -in the history sequential thread-. Who expects our children to be world citizens if they spend whole semesters -apparently repeatedly?!?- on the history of Maryland or Virginia? World history and geography as an elective? 20th century history gets a few weeks coverage, once or late or both? Again just "the facts"? Geography as being able to point on a map and rattle of memorized capitals? Really? [/quote]
