In future, children won't perceive the stars as mere twinkling points of light: they'll learn that each is a 'Sun', orbited by planets fully as interesting as those in our Solar system.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All children are born with stars in their eyes, and they are curious. It is important for teachers to be careful not to kill this curiosity. A lot can go wrong. Children can be teased, even by teachers.
You can enjoy stargazing just by going out and learning a couple constellations with your kids.
Kids are an important audience to reach for the future of the planet.
The kids today all seem to think they should be stars, but I wasn't brought up that way.
I can find in my undergraduate classes, bright students who do not know that the stars rise and set at night, or even that the Sun is a star.
Astronomy teaches the correct use of the sun and the planets.
Kids need to see their world reflected back to them.
Stars are like animals in the wild. We may see the young but never the actual birth, which is a veiled and secret event.
I've seen children's eyes light up when I tell them about black holes and the Big Bang.
Rather than have it the principal thing in my son's mind, I would gladly have him think that the sun went round the earth, and that the stars were so many spangles set in the bright blue firmament.
