One of my favorite projects that I assign each year is to my 10th grade students, who do in-depth research on any culture of their choosing.
Sounds touchy, feely to me.
Can students factor a trinomial into to two binomials, diagram a sentence, write a cogent five paragraph essay, name major countries given a map, cite the constitutional powers vested to the legislative branch?
Math, rhetoric, geography, and civics were fundamental to my education.
Today’s snowflake teachers never mention what were once the fundamentals of secondary education and should remain the fundamentals of any secondary education.
