Children of that age SHOULD know the basics of our place in our solar system. And a ten year old should know a hell of a lot more!
Geez, why are you proud that your kids are mis-informed and dumb?
No other animal on Earth would be proud that their offspring is stupid and ill-equipped in their place in the world.
At four, no they shouldn't.
If they did, then they would be in School at four doing Physics, Maths and History. As it stands, they don't start that stuff until they are 7 (in
the UK) and even then, it is basic and is more orientated on giving the kids something to think about rather then ramming facts down their throats.
I take great offence that you would imply my daughter is dumb merely because she doesn't know the planets of the solar system or 20th Century history
at 4 years old.
Lets ignore the fact she can count up to 1000, is learning a second language (French) do basic arithmetic and can read at 4 years old, lets just
concentrate on the fact she doesn't know who Winston Churchill is and call her and her peers stupid.
Got kids yourself?
