This is probably an unpopular opinion but I think students need more memorization. Seems like we’ve gone away from it in a lot of respects in our higher level thinking aspirations. I think neglecting this removes the foundation of Bloom’s pyramid.
This is probably an unpopular opinion but I think students need more memorization. Seems like we’ve gone away from it in a lot of respects in our higher level thinking aspirations. I think neglecting this removes the foundation of Bloom’s pyramid. It stunts the growth. They need this to build upon! When I was homeschooling I made my children memorize everything I could think of. I remember we had to memorize probably 60 prepositions in 5th grade and you better believe I had my kids doing the same. When I finally put them in middle school (Not tired of it, just wanted them to have a diploma from an accredited high school) and taught them and their classmates my kids could read and write far better than their peers. My kids weren’t the stunted ones. Is standardized testing to blame? Are teachers scared of parent backlash if they make the learn all the states and capitals or all of the US presidents? Why isn’t this happening? submitted by /u/Hungry-Following5561 [link] [comments]
