I blame the govt for approving the use of these books
My child has never "carried load" on her head before. How is she meant to understand this?

If u think it's comprehendible to teach the about brain in that level,what's hard about teaching them about skull? Oga u gat nothing to defend,u think u are posh or civilized by what u are trying to defend? Then be ready to defend that you don't wipe ur butt after using the toilet

What is head used for? Tell us. Is it to nod ball alone? Or what is wrong with this people?

Hope you all know there is a difference between "functions and uses"

Functions have to do with the inside, while uses deals with the outside.

Example:

Function of the hand: locomotion
Uses of the hand: to slap, to punch, to lift...etc.


... dey use it interwoven sometimes ... those kids is interested in knowing about physical appearance

I laff at you o. Those children know more than you are ascribing to them. Just engage them for few mins and you'll be amazed.

But seriously, I am not lieing. I was typing my response when he came in and I decided to ask him. Truth be told, when I suggested 'for carrying load', he screamed out a laugh, grabbed my phone to demonstrate by putting on his head and asking if it makes sense when he can use his hand....

Besides, have you ever engaged in a conversation with a child in that age/class bracket? If No, give it a trial.

Happy Sunday to you

you are wrong. What happened to "The head houses or protects the brain". That's the primary function of the head.

Don't tell me pry1 or pry2 pupil will not comprehend that

The author is far reasonable and more intelligent than you. The brain is part of the head but the skull protects the brain. Mr man, go back to your primary school and get more educated

There is a school I know, if u teach this nonsense to her students, the owner will sack the teacher. No long talk. Even me self won't tolerate such. Which one is the head is for carrying load. Like really!?
Why not make it simple with what they can relate with for Primary 1 or 2, like
The Head is a part of the body. It carries the eyes, the nose, the ears, the mouth and the hair. The teacher will make them to touch their head, and the other parts of their head.

When people are too daft you just get confused altogether.

Now what is head used for?

Exactly what I was trying to even type before I came across your post. They probably expected him to say something like the head is divided into 14 bones which are 2-zygomatic, 2-maxillary, 2-palatine, 2-nasal, 2-lacrimal, vomer, 2-inferior conchae, mandible and one of which it's functions includes the support of some endocrine glands like the hypothalamus which connects to the thalamus which is within the cranium . grin

Don't let the west dictate how you are to teach even though standard education came from them. Tell your own story, be original.
I never saw apple let alone eat it until I was 15, so I agree with you. The book targets the society and the class of pupils in question, I see nothing wrong with it.

If the hand is for washing what's wrong with the head being for carrying?

Most people who argue here haven't provided a better answer for the use of the head that's relatable to a child in primary 1 or 2.

This explains why these days private schools give children home work that only the parents can solve because they want to form high standard.

Lolz! What u stated above is unscientific, washing is not the major function of the hand. What happens to "grasping or holding tools"

You are very wrong. That function is the function of the skull and not the head. I wonder the primary school you went the you does not knows the basic function of ogans of the body.

You are trying to miscredit the author as if the battlelife have been drawn between the both of you. undecided

So, your phone is a load?
so u expected him to grab the bed or wardrobe....

Besides I gave that details in response to the person that called me a liar. Was trying to give the full gist of what happened when I was asking the boy....

I don't have the intention of making him see the head as for carrying load, so there's no need explaining to him that the phone is not a load. I won't want a case where he'll want to start trying out varieties of load on his head out of curiousity.

Thank you
