Most time, us, the teachers, end working for the testing and accreditation.Your intro:<i>"I Gave Up Being part of the Education system so I Could begin to change it."</i> has given me some relief. Maybe I have to let it go, stop fighting and <i>Be the change I want to see in the world (Mahatma Gandhi)</i><br /><br />Gracias y hasta la vistarecorrecaminoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354234182306884104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072440028440011959.post-33584478972885694422012-02-12T09:58:43.400-05:002012-02-12T09:58:43.400-05:00Talking about truth, I'm for teaching truth, b...Talking about truth, I'm for teaching truth, but not at the expense of thought.<br /><br />What you're highlighting is the imbalance between facts and thinking. Schools teach facts/truth sometime in spite of thinking and thought.<br /><br />I wonder what Dave Cormier and his rhizomatic learning would say about this? He equates truth to facts -and is against them (being a focal point of schooling) - http://davecormier.com/edblog/2011/11/05/rhizomatic-learning-why-learn/<br /><br /><br />And, didn't you tell the story of 'What to learn' vs 'How to learn' in one of your books? A key point that AI type learning folks quickly figure out, I think. Also, reminds me of Alan Kay's TED talk about crappy science instruction in schools.<br /><br />Isn't it wonderful what a tuned-in grandpa (you) and a 6 year old (Milo) can accomplish - thanks for sharing a Sunday morning with me.Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963097383859128368noreply@blogger.com
