Should our future generations be taught , SOLVING MYSTERIES FROM CLUES?

Question

in the form of detective novels like Poirot, Conan Doyle etc., currently these novels are treated as "story books" but I think they must be made required classroom textbooks to teach how to collect clues to solve mysteries a skill that is severely lacking. Also all American children be taught EREHWON thinking programme, with the number of subjects of study being kept at the absolute minimum, i.e., dont study anymore than what is absolutely necessary to know, for study itself stifles innovation, flair and creativity, The uneducated "Dravidians" ran a flourishing civilization for thousands of years recording their knowledge to us for posterity we are here for two hundred years and we have nuked Japan , caused unrecoverable system errors in the environment (ozone hole depletion, polar warming, pollutions etc) and we cant even find our way to progress?

Answer 1

Wow, yes, you have great ideas. I hope you are in the Education field, or go into it. But be advised that it is a very conservative fiield, not prone to new thinking, which is why Americans are known throughout the world for producing ignorant and uneducated people.

Answer 2

I liked your question. So I went to “The Department of Education’s web-site, and under the sub heading of; “Creating Strong Supplemental Educational Services Programs” I further found a topic called “Innovations in Education, I clicked and it took me to an e-mail page. So I put your question in, as you asked it (hope you don’t mind). I will let you know what they reply.
Hope it’s a good answer.

Answer 3

....yes...i think all good classic literature should be required reading...starting them very young...they will use their "detective" skills in science which is about finding clues and solving mysteries...teach our children to question everything and search for answers....groom more critical thinkers.....i think your idea is excellent....
