[quote=Anonymous]Also I don’t think anyone mentioned sitting and copying facts. READING facts, however, can be very useful, along with more experiential modes of learning. Seems to me that we are lacking a common set of shared facts in a few areas these days. While we may have different beliefs, it doesn’t change the fact that the earth revolves around the sun. This is useful information that impacts our daily lives. We can do hands-on activities to prove it for ourselves, but it’s also useful to read up on Copernicus, the Incas and the Mayans, etc. And way more engaging to read from a book with color photos than a barely-legible black and white photocopy.[/quote]
