Children

Question of the Day: Do you think that lessons should have a greater emphasis on broad skills? Does learning dates, facts and figures by rote kill children's creativity? What would be the effect of reverting back to teaching methods from the past? How do you teach basic skills and also teach the skill that employers and colleges want?

I think that lessons should have a greater on broad skills because our generation is accomplishing great technology and is evolving.A evolution will come and learning dates, facts and figures by rote will kill children's creativity.If you keep one's education limited how do you expect them to do for themselves. How would they know how to do anything if they cant think outside the box.

A good teaching method that we should revert to is reading the dictionary and learning it's words. This method would keep the vocabulary of the youth varied. Teach basic skills with actual hands on programs. Give people the work experience before they actually go into the field so you can enter the job already know what is expected and what needs to be done.
