Well comic strips and flashy grafx are not my talent but giving up is not either.
I have 5 children from 15 to 22 and each is a consevative thinker because I’ve had the time to educate them. But when their friends are here the emptiness inside those noggins is frightening.
My point was simpler: that I don't think the au courant media young people like, lend themselves to the material that students will have to master to become competent at thought, rational analysis, and the skills necessary for citizenship and a successful adult life. These technologies come, after all, from the world of entertainment: Hollywood, gaming, comic strips, commercial art.
Graphical arts are all about conveying impressions, not about thought. So they're great for entertainment and advertising (which means, literally, turning people's attention to something), but as vehicles for understanding law, mathematics, or logic, or any of a great many other subjects, they just don't offer comparable worth to the ability to read for comprehension -- and comprehension itself. (On second thought, math might be more amenable than the other disciplines I mention to alternative presentational styles using graphics, but the basic argument remains valid.)
I am not denying the value of the skills that gaming graphics can develop and hone in young people: combat skills, for example, or driving skills. The armed services have discovered the usefulness of gaming to hand-eye coordination and fast threat analysis, and even police departments use video training methods now for their mandatory, make-or-break "shoot/don't-shoot" training. I've seen one of those videotapes and they're very relevant and valuable.
Nevertheless I don't see how graphically-based materials can help with subjects like history and law.
I don't envy you your task of educating your children in an age that is hostile to their education and dedicated to programming their politics instead. It was said that, 50 years ago, education was oriented toward helping students to settle on a trade or profession so they could work and earn. Nowadays they are propagandized instead to be good little socialists and see Obama as the Second Coming. I wish you well, I really do.
