“Pa, how big is the universe?” “I don’t know.” So where do we look for answer? Go to the library or ask someone else (we can’t even verify their answers ). We wait for our teachers to impart knowledge to us.
Today we have a whole world of knowledge at our fingertips. My children look up to the internet for answers. Then they run to me to express their excitement and share the new knowledge with me.
Yesterday, I saw my 10 years old create his own stop-motion animation using a mobile phone. He then introduced the Stop Motion Studio Apps to us. Jonnie was so impressed, he jumped up and down with excitement.
My husband and I were amazed!
In such era, do they still need to be fed with information in school? Or do we guide them to learn how to self-learn? To learn to know what they are good at? To learn to know what their heart truly desires? To learn to know their purpose? To learn to know what they can contribute to the society? Are these taught in school?
