New curriculum for kids: GMRC, values, discipline

/ 04:10 AM October 11, 2022

Departing from the usual, traditional and basic education curriculum for our kids (4-12 years old)—consisting of technical subjects such as reading, writing, arithmetic, science, arts, etc.—I would like to propose that a “new curriculum” should be seriously considered to focus more on the so-called “moral-type of education” (good manners and right conduct, values-formation, discipline, group interaction, self-awareness, play, games, etc.).

Hopefully, this new curriculum would greatly help in the resurgence/embodiment of morally upright children in our midst who are likewise expected to have been molded by their parents at home.

Aforesaid basic education subjects could easily be learned by these kids at the time that they reach higher grade levels, especially so if they already have a solid grounding/foundation regarding the moral type of education.
