To Them, Last Week Is History
-
At a forum in Bucks County, educators told legislators that their students don't know much about history, and blamed "teaching to the test," the practice of concentrating a chunk of the school year to drilling the kids on what'll be on the state standardized test. The solution would be to include history on the standardized test, but that would be too easy. Besides, I sometimes wonder whether younger generations are just plain disinterested in anything that happened before they were born. You can't expect kids to retain what they don't care about.
