1) so is something that's cyberpunk Jewish or goyish?
2) in 5th grade my unit on the Civil War in Arizona public school was watching Gone with the Wind split over a couple days. No reading, no discussion, not even a worksheet.
3) If I were dictator in charge of schools I'd have each grade focus on a different era and ethnic group and have all subjects taught through that lens. So if they are studying the Native American tribe closest to the school they would learn about math by building one of their buildings and cooking their foods. There'd be science in those projects as well. They'd learn about their art and how it is similar or influenced other group's art so the art history would be part of it. They'd read stories about that history and culture and learn what words English has incorporated from that language. So instead of silo-ing each subject they would see how everything is connected and why we need to know the separate subjects. Each year would be a different group and era. I once went and visited a private school for kids with dyslexia and their elementary school grades did a version of this. I visited a class that was focused on the Greeks and the teacher and students wore togas in class over their clothes and had Greek names used in class and the room was painted to look like ancient Greece. But then high school had a lot of self-directed project-based learning. Just my thoughts, but despite my Ph.D. in Curriculum & Instruction, no one is asking me to design schools these days.
