While we sumptuously watched the hybrid solar eclipse call
on darkness before it's time, savory cashing in on life mercies as a blessed
lot to view the spectacle, a generation that will probably never witness the
memorable event again was painstakingly grinding on Social Studies(S.S.T) notes,
on how John Speke discovered the source of River Nile!
One wonders
the relevance of such a “discovery’ to a child whose immediate yesterday has an
historical eclipse occurring before his eyes!! Why not examine him on that?
The earlier we conjure up a relevant start-up academic
engine, where we introduce kids early enough to current job market plug-ins,
the better we will be offering this nation a good massage session.
As our jaws dropped
with the moon courting the sun, my neighbor's little boy nick-named Kingo [due
to his striking facial resemblance to James Gayo's cartoon-strip character],
asked me who had won the fight between the moon and the sun!! This is a
13-yr-old boy sitting his first pair of P.L.E today!!
If with the current
easily accessible info-portals, a 13-yr-old Ugandan in 2013 can't at least
averagely give reason to what an eclipse is or why it occurs.... Then we are
simply chasing wind in whatever we are preaching!
