[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t want my kids [b]wasting time memorizing something like the Gettysburg address.[/b] Very pointless. In addition, some kids have issues with memorization. And can you imagine the teacher and students having to listen to 28 kids recite the Gettysburg address?![/quote] Yes--what is the point of learning the words of one of our greatest Presidents? What is the point of learning how and where he wrote it? What is the point of knowing why he wrote it? What is the point of learning the history of what happened at Gettysburg? [/quote] Are you being deliberately obtuse? You need not MEMORIZE it to learn about it, and they why of its importance. Do you have it memorized? I don't. And I could still tell you about it.[/quote]
