[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ES teacher. Placing names on maps is fun for many kids, just some people see it as rote learning and too simple. Why are they learning that when I can look it up is also a comment I hear often.[/quote] Oh good, curriculum is being dictated by poorly educated parents. I am so tired of parents thinking school is about doing stuff that "sounds" impressive. Of course some of school is rote learning if simple concepts like world geography! They are children and come into the world knowing nothing. Oh and by the way, it took humanity thousands of years to figure out the world was round and rotated around the sun, so maybe these ideas are not as simple and basic as you think. We will end up with ignorant high school graduates because of my our own ignorance and lack of perspective and context. Great.[/quote]
