----------------------------
I've just recently started teaching piano to three kids, ages 6-11. I've taken piano lessons for 11 years and I strongly recommend checking out the Suzuki method.

Constance Said:Uni Essay : Why teach mathematics in Primary Schools?We Answered:It's been proven that children (anywhere from 3-10 yrs. old) learn best when they're young. (See Piaget, Chomsky, Bloom, ect.) The brain has the capacity to create new neuro-pathways more readily than adults. Teaching any subject, particularly Math, in primary schools is more efficient because of the student's ability to learn and remember information in the early years of his/her cognitive growth. We should be introducing different languages to students at this level too, instead of later in the middle grades, where it's already a struggle for most students.Suzanne Said:what...

Larry Said:If Pride is a Sin, then why do Christian/Catholic schools teach kids to take PRIDE in their work?We Answered:That is not the Pride we are talking about. That is just being satisfied with doing a good job. There is nothing wrong with that.

Math is pure logic. Once you have the tools of math and proofs - it is easy to understand what must be truth, or what must be learned to find out what must be truth.
The same dispassionate logic is the foundation of the scientific method - but it is harder to apply because we are dealing with words not numbers, probabilities not certainties, theory as explanation for phenomena...
