Successful people are in the habit of producing — dreams , ideas, work etc. It is the same with knowledge. If we receive knowledge, we may score well in tests , but if the same knowledge is used, productively, we will do well in life. Children too must be taught to produce and this requires higher order thinking skills. Let children act — they could cook, produce plays, tell stories — anything. This way they learn a lot.
