Education is not a game

Dear Editor,
I appreciate  and fully agree with Brenda’s caring about children’s learning and how it should be carried out to benefit everyone.  I especially agree with the final paragraphs.  I’m concerned about multiple choice questions.
I recall two instances when I was in school: wrong answers were subtracted from the total of right answers (ie. don’t guess); and anyone can be lucky in answering multi-choice questions.
Our Grade 8 teacher taught us a form of mental telepathy which I still use on the TV show “Who wants to be a millionaire” and it really works, but I won’t explain because that’s like telling the enemy where the bomb is planted.
Education is not a game, it’s the privilege of learning.
Fully agree
Stettler, Ab
