What is worth learning?

 After reading and going through this module I had to sit back and think deeply about how I truly felt about these types of curriculum. I think each part should be included in schools. Students should learn how to act and behave because et's be honest, without at least a little bit of guidance children are absolute heathens. There is nothing wrong with a few rules and regulations. One thing that made me sit back and think was how according to the video at the beginning of the module people think we leave out a lot of important things about minorities. Personally, I do not think it is overly important to learn about every single group that has ever faced any issues. Schools should only focus on learning what is truly important in life. Math, reading, sciences, and of course history. There are so many parts in history that should be taught such as slavery and the civil rights movement, women's suffrage, etc. If we were to teach them about every single minority and issue people face in the world there would be no time for kids to learn everything else they need. To me, an explicit curriculum with a little bit of the other two types of the curriculum is ideal. Children should focus primarily on the core that they need to progress academically and excel later in life in their careers or continued academic journey. But they should not be kept entirely in the dark when it comes to social issues. As someone who primarily learned through explicit curriculum, I still have a very wide knowledge of social issues of the past and present, and still, care about them. But I learned about it all on my own and managed to gain a decent enough education to keep me going. At the end of the day, a healthy, relevant balance of these curriculums is ideal for our future kiddos.
