Good teaching format. I could relate to math and science better if I was given real world analogies and teachers who could show me how and why we need to learn such and such.
Don’t know if introduction to this stuff is beneficial to a child.
Why teach children this?
Not sure.
Where I grew up, my school was actually located on old native American campgrounds, so we learned about the native Americans who lived in that area. We learned about their history, culture, and even some of their religious beliefs.
The Hopi are not local to that region. Perhaps it was part of a larger unit?
I know when we were learning about Europe, we did a lot of different projects, one on each country. People would bring in food, traditional dress, etc. It was fascinating.
Can’t do that now in public schools; too many regulations.
