Students should learn to read maps in school because they are still useful to our lives.

Students should be taught how to read maps in school, as they remain relevant in our lives today. What’s your take on this?

Negative/Positive

I’m specifically referring to travel maps. I understand you have Geography class, but I’m curious: should we continue teaching map reading, or is it time to stop?

  1. Positive

    I believe we absolutely should continue teaching students how to read maps. While technology has made navigation easier with GPS and apps, understanding how to read a physical map is a valuable skill that promotes critical thinking and spatial awareness. Maps can help students appreciate geography, cultivate problem-solving abilities, and enhance their understanding of how different locations relate to one another. Additionally, in emergencies or areas with poor signal, being able to read a map can be crucial. So, it’s definitely worth keeping map reading as part of the curriculum!
