excellent work!
it’s his dad. Bill Gates Sr.
Maybe it is another Bill Gates
tha’ts no bill gates
I see that someone have done hard things with your ass in your childhood
this was very interesting!
i wonder how my brain did it since i grew up in sweden, but could talk both english and swedish when i was a child
“Making minds” is a very disappointing book. Paul Kelly might be on the right track, but totally misses the ball because he hasn’t gotten the fundamentals of learning right.
So I can not recommend that book
When i hear “early learning” I’m close to vomiting. What this doctrine demands is take away the life of a child, take away inspiration and creativity, take away all the self induced ways of discovering things for themselves and when they want it. This society is sick. Now you want to push kids into the working process as soon as possible to get indoctrinated, hypnotized slaves by the age of 10. Didn’t you have a childhood?
that is awesome! let me know if you need my kid to answer any questions for you about this subject-lol
THIS IS WHERE EDUCATION IS YES IT IS CLEARLY SICK
___________________”making minds”
is a book written by Paul Kelley a succesful American British
comprehensive School Headmaster.
Paul Kelley clearly says whats wrong with education – and what should we do about it.
Published by Routledge 2008
IN 178 pages i have no disagreement with him.
It is clear and to the point, a summary of where we are in historical progress between research and practise.
I have only words to enlist your support for my mission.
So let every one be clear what my mission is.
“To insure the possibility of equality within education”
The equality of opportunity that comes directly from our ability to reason.
The natural ability to reason is the most important human gift we share, we cannot reason without language so let us use our ability to reason.
The only real example we have of children utilising their own intelligence to teach themselves something very difficult, is the manner in which they teach themselves their own natural language.
My question is what else can they do at the same time with all this obvious intelligence?
Learning the structure of numbers by simply copying movements is perfectly natural,
The abacus provides this realisation, John Nicholson
This is brilliant research, well executed and interpreted.
I have a dedicated aim, that is to develop simple systems of teaching early arithmetic and reading English.
