Because I was teaching at an elementary school, I remember watching second graders handle saws and other tools and feeling shocked. This would never happen in Singapore for safety reasons!
I also admire the way elementary schools teach children how to COOK. Miso soup n all that jazz. It’s such an important life skill even if it doesn’t quite translate into revenue making for the country
That's interesting. I was using tools like that with my friends at that age, largely unsupervised, but it's hard to imagine that happening in our schools.
