Education Is At A Turning Point

I Am Relieved That, In My Own Teaching, I Don't Have To Moderate Between High Stake Teaching And Education For The Virtues. If I Did, I Would Give Students The Tools To Take The Tests But Not Spend An Inordinate Amount Of Time On Test Prep Nor On 'teaching To The Test.' If The Students, Or Their Parents, Want Drill In Testing, They'd Have To Go Elsewhere. As A Professional, My Most Important Obligation Is To Teach The Topic, Skills, And Methods In Ways That I Feel Are Intellectually Legitimate.

No Academic Ever Expects To Be Taken Seriously By More Than Three Other People, Because Really, We Write For Three People In Our Field.

Most People (by The Time They Have Become Adults ) Can't Change Their Minds Because Their Neural Pathways Have Become Set... The Longer Neural Pathways Have Been Running One Way The Harder It Is To Rewire Them.

Our Way Of Managing And Leading, Rewarding And Judging People Is Totally Out Of Tune With The Fact That We Are All Individuals.

To Ask "where In Your Brain Is Intelligence?" Is Like Asking "where Is The Voice In The Radio?"
