You are obviously the sort of person who likes to 'investigate' things for
yourself (and learn from your own mistakes) - but, unfortunately, that is
not how the UK educational system works these days. Britain used to be a
"nation of inventors" - although that is now long gone, due to 'politics'.
Martina;
Well I also live in an over regulated society but I refuse
to be a casualty of it.
It's not important that you eat at McDonalds or that you
make a sundial with french fries, the point I was trying to
make is you don't need much of anything to make this subject
interesting.
If you can't eat at McDonalds go somewhere else where you
can eat. If there are no sundials to visit, go visit a
planetarium.
Don't let the stupid rules stifle your teaching and stifle
the kids education, snake around those rules. That's an
important lesson in itself.
Much as we find amazement and humour in the excesses of Rome
that led to the fall of their empire, future generations
will point to our over regulation that preceded the collapse
of western civilization.
Good heavens Martina, get some backbone. We are surely lost
if our teachers give up.
