Learning Something Different from the Classroom
Why not send your kids to learn something different? This may help them even understand better their classroom work. For instance putting what they are taught into practice. Ask a primary school child the use of a ruler. They will tell you it’s used to draw lines. That’s true. Send that same child to a carpentry workshop and ask the same question after. I bet you, (s)he will give you a different answer.
