IDK who, but if the info I have is correct then you can trace the why to keeping beer cold.Who invented air conditioning, the refrigerator
my office used to be right next to our technical director who also taught costuming/sewing - his intro to sewing lectures about the invention/development of the sewing machine and it's enormous cultural impact were always fascinating to meYou can ask this question about a lot of the things taught in school
For whatever reason Eli Whitney and the Cotton Gin is one of the inventions that kids are taught about in school.
Why? Who knows? Who invented air conditioning, the refrigerator, the steam engine? I know for a fact that I didn't learn about them in elementary school. Why the cotton gin?
I recently watched CNN's documentary series on Abraham Lincoln and one of the lines was "the truth is a lot more complicated than what you learn in the 2nd grade"
and i don't know what it's like teaching grade school (if the mythology approach makes impact), but at least by 8th grade, the students LOVE learning about the flaws and the mess of historical figuresI'll also add that a lot of our teaching of history is based around hero worship and turning complicated and flawed real people into mythological figures. So less history and more cultural myths perpetuated as history. This is rooted in the late 19th century mythologization of the founding fathers and other notable leaders comes from. Honest Abe. Washington and the cherry tree. That kind of stuff.
Lots of things you're taught in school are bullshirt. When I was a kid they were still telling us the reason no one would fund Columbus' voyage was because they thought the Earth was flat. The reality is naval navigation had been based on the concept of a spherical Earth since the time of ancient Greece.
I was also taught that Louisiana was named for King Louis and his wife Queen Anna. Unfortunately three seconds of research would tell you his wife was not named Anna.
Exactly this. Case in point...I'll also add that a lot of our teaching of history is based around hero worship and turning complicated and flawed real people into mythological figures. So less history and more cultural myths perpetuated as history. This is rooted in the late 19th century mythologization of the founding fathers and other notable leaders, but also expanded from there. Honest Abe. Washington and the cherry tree. That kind of stuff.
Yeah, that was on the local news here. Crazy shirt.So this happened
===============
A Watkins Elementary School staff member told third-graders in library class to reenact scenes from the Holocaust, directing them to dig their classmates’ mass graves and simulate shooting the victims, according to an email from the school’s principal. The instructor was placed on leave Friday.
She allegedly assigned specific roles to students. She cast one student as Adolf Hitler, according to an email from Watkins Elementary School Principal MScott Berkowitz to the third-graders’ parents. He did not name the staff member. That student is Jewish, according to the parent of a student who was asked to participate.
At the end of the exercise, the child was told to pretend to commit suicide, as Hitler did.
Originally, the students were in library class on Friday for a self-directed project they would present to their classmates before winter break. But the instructor had students participate in the reenactment during their allotted research time, Berkowitz wrote to parents.
“I want to acknowledge the gravity of this poor instructional decision, as students should never be asked to act out or portray any atrocity, especially genocide, war, or murder,” Berkowitz said in the email.
A different parent of a student who was a part of the reenactment said her son had to pretend to be on a train to a concentration camp, then act as if he were dying in a gas chamber. He also had to act as if he were shooting his peers, the parent said. The parent spoke on the condition of anonymity and declined to name the child.
The instructor allegedly made antisemitic comments during the reenactment. The parent said that when the children asked why the Germans did this, the staff member said it was “because the Jews ruined Christmas.”
The instructor asked students after the reenactment not to tell anyone about it, but they told their homeroom teacher, the parent said..........
Ok I’m a teacher. I’ve never been so high or so drunk that I could come up with something this stupid.So this happened
