I think both options have advantages and disadvantages. It's up for the teacher to guide the student, whether the students choose the books on their own or if the teacher assigns them.

Indeed. Some people of authority should step up and do what is right regardless of what seems to be an unpopular choice. Even more so if the health of children is at stake. Or on the weekends the children could binge-eat all the bad stuff that's being kept away from them. Education is the most...

I hadn't thought about uniforms in this light. Now that you mention it, I do believe uniforms are a show of discipline and order.

History is the science whose object of study is the past of human societies. It's considered to be one of the most important humanistic sciences. It taught human beings to know the cultural heritage of different civilizations, but also to build each one's own identity. By searching and...

Slowly and gradually insert them into the reading habit. At first, I ask each one what type of books or materials have they read before. Then, I ask them to read a short newspaper story or to research something of their interest.

Yes, I would definitely support the education of students in nutrition. I think a gradual ban would be more accepted; for instance, only have one day with junk food. The rest of the days serve clean and healthy food. That way, it won't be such a huge change and students can adapt easily. Even...

I wouldn't train students as the first line of defense. It would be putting them at great risk, almost sacrificing their lives if there is a shootout or something of the sort. It's better to hire security guards, who are already trained, and implement other safety measures such as cameras, metal...

Yes, I agree with this. A tablet or smartphone can have all the books and information a child needs, as well as other interactive activities, learning apps, puzzles... Imagine carrying all that in a backpack for a 4-year-old. Completely unnecessary.

These are one of the best books I've ever read. I'm not a big fan of novels or fantasy books, but A Song of Ice and Fire made me reconsider what I thought about the genre. The richness of character, their development arc, the story, everything in the books is enthralling.

History is essential to understand humans. Our past defines every moment of the present and future, offering guidance so we don't repeat mistakes. I constantly read books or seek online articles about history. One way to make history entertaining for young people is to present it in a...

Violin. It teaches skill and speed in the fingers, develops their brain faster, and teaches them discipline. Violin makes a beautiful sound, and it's an instrument that has a lot of competition. To stand out, the child has to practice a lot.

The Count of Monte Cristo I love adventures, and Alexandre Dumas masterfully creates one hell of an epic adventure in this book. It tells the story of a young and successful sailor who falls in love with a young girl and returns to marry her but is betrayed and accused by none other than his...

You do not have to "teach" spirituality to a child. Why? Because the children already know it. Because it is what they are and what we are. We are spiritual beings who are having a physical experience, and children understand it very clearly. Only that since they do not process it...

Christmas is a beautiful and tender legend since Jesus wasn't born on December 24, neither was he born in Bethlehem nor in a manger. The legend of the birth of Jesus tells that he was born in winter, in a manger, among animals that offered him warmth; he was worshiped by three kings of the East...

To me, as a bibliophile and cinephile, I like to enjoy the book first and afterward its screen version. However, I do believe that showing kids and teenagers the films will be more productive than having them read the books. Plus, since films are about 1-2 hours long, a lot more material can be...
