Controversy
what a teacher needs to know vs. what the teacher has to know.
Mabrook to my fellow mates your presentations were exquisite. You have set the benchmark so high, I am proud. We are all now Prezi experts :D
Civic Education.. to be honest, at my school we were never taught anything about EGYPT.
I remember we talked about:
- civilizations in grade 6
- geography and monuments grade 7
- world war 1 and 2 grade 8
- humanities (which was an integrated course between English and History, so we read about the history of the books we are reading) grade 9 and 10
- then in IB I never took History :)
It is quite astonishing, I have no recollection of ever taking Egyptian or American History except I guess about the Alamein War in World War 2. I don't even know any famous figures in Egypt or what they have accomplished this is also due to my hatred towards History thus, even a struck of interest does not occur.
This makes me reflect on the idea that I do not feel patriotic towards any country. I personally never felt I belonged somewhere but I always wanted to work for Humanity as a whole, regardless of place.
I like that quote from the presentations:
"Education is the great equalizer of the condition of man"
