You're right, understandings are what can be transferred. Thanks Donnah!

Annie, facts will always be there in books, or I suppose somewhere on the internet :) In fact one of the descriptions I love is that learning facts is just “butterfly collecting!” You’re right, understandings are what can be transferred.

Kids learn so much more effectively when they are given the chance to develop the understandings - the facts follow when the child is ready to receive them, but the understandings set them up to apply those learnings in other areas as well. “Facts are relatively easy to learn, understandings are priceless” I agree completely.

Being a teacher myself, it is excellent to see stuff like this on the web for other mums, dads and families to see and hopefully use. I look forward to watching this site grow.
