Berliner, Wendy. “‘Schools Are Killing Curiosity’: Why We Need to Stop Telling Children to Shut up and Learn.” The Guardian, Guardian News and Media, 28 Jan. 2020, www.theguardian.com/education/2020/jan/28/schools-killing-curiosity-learn
Part 2 Summary :
In the article “Schools are Killing Curiosity,” Wendy Berliner argues that by prioritizing memorization over questioning and critical thinking, schools are suppressing children’s basic curiosity. By claiming that due to time restrictions and the need to achieve deadlines, teachers often prevent students and kids from asking questions. This method interferes with their capacity for creative thinking and efficient learning. On the other hand, research suggests that promoting curiosity and questioning improves academic achievement and nurtures a love of learning. The Illminister Avenue Nursery School and other successful efforts are highlighted in this article to support a systematic approach to encouraging curiosity in schools.
