Re: When I was in elementary school?
said by NetFixer  :Didn't have a computer when I was in elementary school... No computer here either. Learning aids were a number line or flash cards. Neither were really needed, math of any sort came naturally to me. When homework proved problematic, I turned to my teacher or mother or friends for help with a solution. There was no such thing as an instant answer.
In high school business classes a ten-key adding machine was the closest I came to using a computer. And when I finally went to college years after graduating high school, pencils, ledger paper, and an adding machine were the tools I used. I might add that I got the experience in the accounting field before I ever got the education.
A computer can be a wonderful adjunct to a childs' education, but the parents need to take a more active role as well. Some of my most cherished memories from my childhood are of my mother helping me with my homework. |
