10 year-olds, Wikipedia, and the unit of inquiry

Some interesting news today. We found out (via a school email) that Henry's next "unit of inquiry" at school is called "The Human Body". They will cover fun and exciting topics such as reproduction, conception, organs, and bodily hygiene (boys and girls separately). Jess is of the opinion that 10 year olds are more concerned with Legos and cartoons, and are probably too young to learn this stuff. I agree with her, but then I think that the learning paradigm for kids these days is different than what we are used to. 10 minutes on Wikipedia is probably all they need if they are really interested.

Oh well, we'll see how it goes.
