Sorki, że w oryginale:
"I’m sure Ian Livingstone means well. Wanting English schoolchildren to contribute more to the digital economy is a laudable aim.
But all the evidence from cognitive science is that in order to think creatively, children first need to commit a vast array of facts to their long-term memories. Processes like reasoning and problem-solving are inextricably bound up with factual knowledge and cannot be taught separately, with the job of memory being outsourced to Google. In a separate interview in the Sunday Times, Livingstone says he wants children at his school to aspire to be Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder, overlooking the fact that Zuckerberg studied Latin until the age of 18. If Livingstone wants to spawn a generation of creative geniuses, he should forget about game-based learning and make Latin compulsory."

Istotny fragment wytłuściłam, bo choć to tylko opinia felietonisty, niedającego żadnych linków do twardych badań, to… wydaje mi się intuicyjnie prawdziwa. Wrzucam, jako refleksję.
Aha, łacinę rudymentarnie posiadłam (w liceum) i nigdy tego nie żałowałam, wręcz przeciwnie
