Sure, this is a good step in allowing student to explore other teachings and points of view and learning to think for themselves. That is not how most of the education system is built though, it is built to spoon feed a curriculum, no questions asked. This is quite sad because kids and adolescents are naturally very curious.
- drawkward 3y agoIn my opinion, drawing on my past experience as a teacher in a very impoverished area, there has to be a sliding scale. Facts are facts; my middle school students were expect to learn long division, but many struggled with addition, some even still counting on their fingers. Phonics, math facts, sentence structure: some of these should be indoctrinated at an early age, so as to enable later on the higher levels of inquiry that represents true intellectual freedom. On the other hand, you have some people trying to sell "woke kindergarten" aaaand...its not going well for the students and their ability to reach academic goals consistent with early primary school.

- mym1990 3y agoOf course, a strong foundation for rudimentary skills is a must, unfortunately not everyone is interested in building that and want to skip to the insert crazy topic of the month. My view is that technology has outpaced the ability of teachers to keep up. A student will see 100 new things on TikTok before a teacher can even blink and address any of it, its an uphill battle and I don't envy the teacher's job.
