Oregon Road Conditions & Cams Email Story to a Friend September 4, 2005 SinceWeAsked: The Three R’s, and Much More Welcome back to school, kids. It’s back-to-school time and we thought after so much summer fun we’d snap everyone out of their pleasant lull and ask a tough question — just like the teachers do. We asked: "What’s the most important subject matter for young students to learn in school?" Advertisement Please take some time to read through the answers, and after you’re finished peruse this week’s question, which concerns Hurricane Katrina. Music. It is the only universal language. Some can play it; some can sing it; some can write it. Everyone can learn from it. — Sandi R. Ashland I think the most important subject is reading. Without reading, you can't do math, can't write, read, fill out job applications or know if you are getting paid correctly. — Carol Dewey, Rocky Point American history and what it has cost to live in a free country. Freedom is not free. — M. Loogman, Medford I can answer that in one word, reading. Without proper reading skills, proficiency in every other subject suffers. — Neill Sunday, Medford Problem solving — Catherine Johansson, Medford Mathematics ... without calculators. — Butch Merusi, Gold Hill Logic and ethics. Knowledge of both subjects is fundamental to learning, communicating and making proper use of all the information we are exposed to. — Bob Stephenson, Medford Foniks!!! By learning the phonetic sounds a student will become a good reader and a good communicator. A student without phonics will find Bugology difficult. — Bill Hartley, Medford The young students should be learning math and English as the two most important subjects. — Heather, Medford The answer is subjective to the career goals/ life goals of each student. Example being, English would be most important to an author. — Stephen, Eagle Point History, because learning and understanding history can help future generations avoid the same mistakes! — G. Smith, Phoenix Literacy. He who is literate can learn the language of any profession. The illiterate is incapable of learning in any manner except show and tell. — Dennis B. von Ting, Eagle, Idaho (formerly of Central Point) The "Three-R's" of course: reading, writing and arithmetic. These are the core for learning every other subject and must be stressed. — Lisa, Medford This week’s question No kidding around here. We asked: "If you could send a message to the people affected by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, what would you say?" Please keep your answers brief and on the issue at hand.
