[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't you know that kids don't need to know anything, anymore? It's not what they know, it's how they think. [/quote] No kidding. It's unbelievable how many things schools expect parents to teach while they work on getting kids to think. Handwriting, typing, spelling, grammar, geography, vocabulary. The list goes on and on.[/quote] Now a days, how they think is more important than what they know because you can google and read about almost anything. How does learning each state capital help them with "how they think"? I think kids should know general US geography (where the states are), and world geography because it helps to understand history. But, how does knowing each state capital help them in the future? Memorizing state capitals is just rote regurgitation.[/quote]
