I Scientist Film - Is This How Education Should Be?
- erikb 16y agoIt is a typical idea of this time to think, that playing around and emphazising on creativity is the right way to teach children. But beside creativity, there are also other important things to learn for children. For example using a method to approach a problem, or planning about what your goals are and how to reach them. These things all are pretty boring for children, so they don't really fit into this creative/funny learning environment. Why are these concepts important? They help to fulfill longtime goals, things where you have to work a long time before you get any gratification. But these goals are also the bigger ones and the better ones. When you just care about how to fill your stomach right now, you might starve to dead another day. But when you think on how to always have food in your home (a.k.a. finding a job) you will never have to suffer from this kind of problem. That is why I think there is always a need for a boring kind of school for children. These methods and the way to think long term is something that you better learn, before you understand its value.
