Teaching Earth Science to Kids

I spent a better part last evening discussing with my nine year old his homework. What struck me is that it was not the usual kiddy stuff. This was the kind of subject I grapple with day in day. The lad wanted to know the wetlands around our neighborhood, and how they could be useful for sustainability and food security. Wow, this is the kind of stuff you'd expect to hear from the AU, UNGA, and other high-level forums! But, yes it is being debated here and right now by the next generation. My guess is as good as yours; they are preparing to take responsibility into their own hands. That is the right thing to do, and we must support our schools and teachers to do the right thing all the way!
