[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 440548, member: 3306"] I agree, John. We teach for the test anymore, instead of for the love of learning. We cram a lot of stuff into kids' heads for the test and then after that, it all leaves. Rote memorization. I think that I have seen a new emphasis on subjects like reading and geography. When I was in school I never took a course in geography. It was bundled into social studies. Still, I can find anything on a map, except maybe some of the "Stans". Stuff that used to be the Soviet Union. There are kids, and adults as well, who can't even find THIS COUNTRY on a map. Had a kid ask me where the Korean Pennensula was. Duh... They were studying a unit on Korea. My dad can still recite the Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner. He learned that in the '30's. Can't remember what his medications are... :oops: [/QUOTE]
