How's that working.It's not about "rules," it's about expectations and consistency.
Rules underpin good order. Good order is necessary to accomplish anything.It's not about "rules," it's about expectations and consistency.
As expected.How's that working.
The Real Reason They're Bashing Teachers' UnionsTeachers teach according to what they are told. Same for discipline. It truly is about expectations and consistency.
From liberal to commie liberal groomer?I plan on teaching
Just need to get my resume updated
Both are necessary. Music should be introductory in K-6. Those with musical aptitude should carry on after their primary years, but history should be taught on the academic side. It isn't either/or.So you are saying that a student with a high aptitude in music should just let that go and instead memorize facts about history.
What age groups are you talking about. If you are referencing K-6, I disagree. One hour of music and art a week for these is plenty. Reading, Writing, Science, History, Geography, Arithmetic, English and PE should be core in these age groups with a liberal sprinkling of penmanship. Technology should be by immersion while teaching the core in primary grades. Government, History, Life Skills, Algebra, English, Biology, and Geography should be core in jr. high/middle school with the opportunity for elective PE, Art or Music.Imagine thinking that every student needs history 10 months a year but not even students who are going to be musicians should be in music class daily.
All things otherwise equal, given the choice of someone who is versed in history over someone who is not when applying for a job. I would choose the applicant with a knowledge of his forebears, hands down.History is ok but it isn't going to prepare one for a job.
Same here. Having basic knowledge of our country‘s history and how our government works is a sign of an intelligent, well-educated person. I would take it as a negative if an employee didn’t even know when the Civil War was or what year we declared our Independence from England, but I wouldn’t think anything about someone who couldn’t play a musical instrument.All things otherwise equal, given the choice of someone who is versed in history over someone who is not when applying for a job.

That reminds me….years ago, one of my employees insisted that JFK died from pneumonia. When I told her, trying to contain my shock that a college graduate didn’t know that, that he was assassinated, she was totally shocked. OTOH, if she never was in choir or could read sheet music, no biggie.
As I said, basic knowledge of our history and government is a sign of an intelligent, well-educated person. I prefer them to dumb, ignorant people.So do you make employees answer history questions during an interview? History is of little relevance in a high paying career.
Ever hear the quote,So do you make employees answer history questions during an interview? History is of little relevance in a high paying career.
History prepares one for citizenship (or should).History is ok but it isn't going to prepare one for a job.

If I had to "learn" music in school I never would have taken up the guitar, banjo, and bass. I have enjoyed playing these instruments for over sixty years, and I still can't read a note of sheet music. When I was in HS we had Band, Orchestra, and Choir. No bluegrass or rock.You know what everyone does for enjoyment in Lisa's world after a long hard day of work?
oh yeah. Goes home, puts the airpods in and memorizes more historical facts and figures. To be impressive. Who needs music, after all? NO ONE
I laughed, anyway

Worse yet our "woodworking" class was aimed at cabinet making using hand tools, when most of us wanted to learn how to build a house. using power tools. So behind the times.
