[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This type of education fad is also why a large prcentage of the Pennsylvania college students don't know basic facts about the Holocaust. A jounalist did a whole study on that. By shunning everything rote, we also created all those students who cannot find a foreign country on the map. Knowledge, lots of it can and should be rote, is fine. Without factual knowledge, there cannotbe real higher level understanding.[/quote] I'd love to see a reference to that study by a journalist that found that a large percentage of Pennsylvania college students don't know basic facts about the Holocaust because schools are emphasizing higher-level thinking.[/quote]
