No i'd teach WORLD HISTORY

I love history...learning and knowing how the past generation paved the way for everyone's future. Seeing it from their perspective? makes me feel like being there, appreciating it more. Then sharing it with today's generation to inspire and motivate.

Imagine, if we hadn't know and just moved on after einstein, hitler, lincoln, justin bieber. All of those people. helped show us how to do things better.

Philosophy ... I'd rather teach students to think, than recite (or "just accept" someone else's version of events).

Helpful (5) Fun Thanks for voting Comments (10)
Report as
good point. i wish there were more teachers like that
Report as
Einsteins"version of events" actually changed history. Hitler's "version of events" taught us not to follow a dictator and that we the people have the power. All the time. The people power demonstrated all around the world represents history, all the good and the bad. The HISTORY of the world wars wasn't JUST TOLD, to be "just accepted". It was taught for us to learn from it and move on and be better person's for it.

Though philosphy is a good choice.
Report as
I'm referring to the fact that public schools want kids to accept only certain versions of history. And, as they say, "history is written by the winners". Because of that, people often fail to understand why America is so hated/feared.

If you wish to use WWII as an example ... School kids are "taught" that the Japanese attacked us without cause. While the truth is both the Japanese and Germans had good reasons to attack us before we "officially" entered the war.
Report as
And because schools don't teach the full history ... you can't expect people to learn from it.
Report as
All is encompassed by history. The one's curious or smart enough would know better to research all the details.
Report as
But if you study the history of our public school system ... you find it was designed to discourage curiousity and independed thinking. And it seems like it's done a good job of it.
Report as
If you give a child a book, you should teach him how to read first. The rest is up to him. He can use the book as an arm rest, a marker, a stand, something to put under a table. The teacher's are supposed to guide us the rest is up to the person. and the reason i commented on this in the first place is because you were subliminaly thru your answer demeaning history or teaching. whichever you were pointing out was wrong because everything is worth learning be it good or bad. Just because your opinion on history or public learning or teaching is not good doesn't mean you can bash it.
Report as
BS ... when you force children to learn specific history, you are not "guiding" them to learn. You are brainwashing them. If you refuse to research why our public school system was designed as it is, that's your choice. But I have, and so have the facts to bash it.
Report as
haha...you talk funny :-)

whatever problems you have seen regarding the public school system does not necessarily mean all of history is "BS" as you say, you have so much pent up anger against the institution?..are you on your period or something?
Report as
Have to agree with Walt here...
History (though very important) is often merely thinly veiled propaganda, especially middle and high school history; Though the US is hardly alone in this respect. Pre university education is designed to make people functioning members of the society in which they live, so it includes a rather large dose of patriotism and not much in the way of critical objective thought.

Health, Sex Ed. So many of todays youth are just so oblivious to std's and parents dont know how to talk to their kids about it. Its more than jus about sex and finding that "one" person, its about knowing you, and when faced with a problem how to handle it.

Report as
why would u teach about how 2 have sex?! these kids are too young to learn that when they aren't married. because having sex can lead into big problems at that age.
Report as
Because its like having a swimming pool on a hot day and ur child doesn't know how to swim. U may tell them not to swim, but its too damn hot and these kids think they know everything. Wouldn't u rather have shown your child how to protect themselves while in the water than to go in their blindly without any protection or knowledge of what to do to make sure they don't drown.
Report as
Too young when they aren't married? are u kidding me? U mean to tell me that you want these people to wait til marriage to have sex? what a disappointment. What if they are not sexually compatible?
I am not saying go out there and have sex with everybody, but lets be realistic, these kids need information, not someone who will judge them
Report as
Well seriously. Glitter is right because these kids when they have SEX in the 5th grade their pretty much considered sluts.
Report as
Hi mommy I just had sex with my little boyfriend and we're like 12 years old... Seriously LisiLiz. They should wait for marriage because sex is a special gift from God not something you just go around and do with your boyfriends and girlfriends.
Report as
and please tell me where in the bible it states, that its a gift from god? and who said I believed what u believe?
Ok, u tell ur kids to wait til marriage, and I'll protect mine from drowning. There's way too much sex shown on tv and kids speak about it with their friends and they know nothing.
I had my sex talk with my oldest son when he was 12. I am very open with all my sons and when they ask questions, I answer them. We sit at the kitchen table and just talk about normal, everyday stuff. I love that he can feel comfortable in talking to me and his dad. He doesnt have a girlfriend, but when he does, I know that he is well informed and can never say "i didnt know" or "mom and dad didnt tell me".
Kids aren't playing barbie, be realistic. Yes, 12 is too young for sex, but not too young to be informed of the consequences and the options u have. Just cuz u dont talk about sex, doesnt mean they arent gonna do it.
Report as
Hi Ms100thumbs up, I dont keep track of questions/comments passed a few days, and my vacation time is over.
Please dont get me wrong; I am not teaching kids to have sex, my answer was to teach them about sex. The std's that even virgins can get when they have sex with someone who is not a virgin. That aids and herpes are diseases for life and cannot be cured.
While abstinence is an option so is being informed about options. If a couple should choose to wait til marriage, then that is something that they choose, but it is not the only option.
All creatures have sex and were created by God. Sex is not a gift from god, its a way of reproducing. The baby that is created is the gift. Roaches have sex, its not a gift. We have a brain that we control.
Sex is a special bond between 2 people that is making their relationship deeper. When sex is involved it changes everything.
I have 3 boys and a neice that I am raising. Each will decide when to have sex and each will be able to make a smart decision after I have spoken to them as their mom and given them all options, facts, and personal opinion about sex before their friends can.
I will not let a teacher inform my children about sex before me-absolutely not! I would rather they learn about love and sex from their mom and dad, who are in a long, loving, beautiful marriage for the past 16 yrs :) Thank u
