what advice would you give to someone who believes that curriculum should be in the form of direct academic instruction when choosing quality child care?

Answer: Both direct and indirect instructions should be included in any learning curriculum for the overall development of the child/learner

Explanation:

I will advice the person to also give quality consideration to indirect instructions because direct instructions alone has its cons which indirect instructions made up for given that indirect instructions welcome a great level of student involvement in investigating, observing, hypothesis formulation, drawing references.

Also, indirect instructions usually capitalize on the curiosity and interest of students and constantly encouraging them to devise alternatives and become problem solvers.

This form of instruction (indirect) also gives learners the rare privilege of freedom in order to explore further possibilities and totally eradicates the fear of possibly supplying wrong answers or information and consequently improving students' contribution and learning.

Summarily, it will be inappropriate to term any form of learning as superior to the other but indirect instructions have advantages that mustn't be hastily overlooked when it comes to instructional curricular and general wellbeing of a student
