@coldxman I thought everyone has known this since the first time they heard about AI...and thought about it for 30s.

One the more difficult problems in education is the paradox, the tension, between direct instruction and discovery learning.

[RayGowlett @RayGowlett]

Perhaps, this can move the needle towards are more elegant solution that allows everyone to innovate safely. Where your imagination can engage with the unknown...efficiently, and elegantly.

Skepticism isn't cynicism. It's the courage to hold off on belief until the evidence earns it.
In my latest post, I explore why true rationality demands doubt. Not denial, but disciplined delay.

@edudissenter Nope. Not even a little. I had an administrator ask me..."Ray, even if you know what we're presenting is false, can you please just go along with it? Staff look to you to check if the content is valid, and we don't want them to be skeptical."

@tombennett71 Yup. Our entire high school for 800+ students was designed to be completely open. When I went to school there 35 years ago as a student, it was. Now as a teacher in the same building, walls are up everywhere, and every class has four walls.

Entirely predictable.

@kinsellawarren It's always been the case that most people decide who to vote for off of a clip that's only a few minutes long.

This shouldn't shock you. Especially when Pierre's clips are far more coherent than Justin's drink box thingies.

[RayGowlett @RayGowlett]

@ClarkeMicah No, wrong. The simple point is that you were a terrible person to Alex, who was acting in good faith. You missed the point.

Watch the entire interview as if you weren't a part of it. Your manners were terrible, I've not seen anything like it, and you mistreated Alex.

[RayGowlett @RayGowlett]

@ClarkeMicah @CosmicSkeptic Peter, you have many virtues, but did not put any of them on display in this interview. Everyone has bad days, and we've seen one of yours.

Apologize to Alex, and move one.

Great 7 minute video on the mismatch between how boys learn and what schools make them do. And how we use Adderall to bridge the gap, rather than giving them what they need: more play, movement, and hands-on activity. From @Robmontz

@sbkaufman Isn't it the case that the affective phenomenon/ experience that you would describe as 'self esteem' occurs as a consequence of how well you execute all of those things?
