Schools have changed since I went to school — not surprising, although maybe it’s just that I can’t remember much about my early childhood. Our son came home with a note the other day, telling us about some program he’s doing, and giving us the information slip. This contained the sentence This year we will be doing a mini creative thinking unit around jellybeans. We will incorporate Bloom’s Taxonomy and the Multiple Intelligences as much as possible.
Tim searched for those terms and came across numbers of links that didn’t make us any wiser as to what they’re actually doing — especially given that our son is 6, and in Grade 1 (2nd year at school, and first full-time year). Asking our son what they’re doing in the program doesn’t elicit any useful information; we’ll have to ask the teacher. Still, he seems to enjoy it, and they get to eat the jellybeans afterwards.

Ya times have changed now. We r living in 21st century so one ought to be tech savy but at such a young age. But children now a days r quick learners as compared to us. And more over your child is enjoying it.
Today kids r growing up smartly with so much technology around them. Its no harm learning it if the kid is interested in it. Let him grow like any other kid otherwise he will be left behind. And i m sure u don’t want this.
