Several companies now market [educational] videos for kids and millions of children have watched them. As a result, these kids are now exceeding smart, right?I guess this changes when kids turn 5 and go to school in flipped classrooms.
Unfortunately not, because it turns out that toddlers do not learn very well from disembodied voice-overs on videos.
On the other hand, I think out 9 year old has learned more science from Magic School Bus than at school.
ReplyDeleteCatherine,

Sorry for the off-topic post, which you are welcome to delete.
