PLN 5 semester 2

In your article But Who Champion's Citizenship? I believe that those duties are left for society. I don't know if I am answering your question correctly but I feel like the answer to what I think you are asking is that certain life skills are taught not by those who teach us things that we learn in the classroom, but by those who are along the eternal link of generations and generations. People rely on what they were taught by their parents when they are cleaning a house or doing chores. Those skills are not taught by organizations like STEM. It is one of the rare few actions preserved by the simplicity of knowledge that is past on from parent to child. It is not a classroom taught topic. For though classrooms are the places at which complex knowledge is obtained, the only place to learn fundamental knowlege is outside the school on the street, in the home, or at a workplace. Certain things cannot be taught in classrooms. Self-expression, community awarness, etc. are things that the world alone can teach.
