@BowTiedMarmott Hate to be the one to tell you, but your child is the Prison gang CEO of the daycare. Likely extorting birthday invites as well as goldfish snacks and blippi paraphernalia.
Tread lightly sir
@cbokhove@rastokke@greg_ashman I suppose 'inserted yourself' is a euphemism for you showed up on my timeline. Or do you also not know how algorithms work?
Actually that'd be right on point. Nevermind.
@cbokhove@rastokke@greg_ashman Its not just edutwitter, which is the problem. Everything you see here, occurs amongst decision makers in schools and districts. I am aware that you didnt say recent, but if youre going to hang your hat on experience, then recency is a fair expectation.
@cbokhove@rastokke@greg_ashman Lastly. Of course experience is valuable. But you are trying to put EDUC professionals on a pedestal, and I am growing tired of that ol' shtick, especially as it pertains to PL planning and feedback.
@cbokhove@rastokke@greg_ashman It doesn't automatically negate your ideas. But I trust evidence, not resumes. Ive attended some pretty terrible PLs by experienced teachers. And some excellent PLs by non teachers. Guess what the difference was.
@cbokhove@rastokke@greg_ashman Yeah, if your last year was 2012, you dont know what its like in schools. So by your own definition, you dont have the expertise to be discussing these matters. The last time I taught math in a school was on Friday and have done so for 17 years in 5 countries.
@cbokhove@rastokke@greg_ashman One could also argue that Math Education Professors also dont know what it is like to teach math in schools. Is this really the standard you want to apply?
@cbokhove Yeah thats exactly what people are advocating for. Mathematicians are the best resource to ensure mathematical rigour. And psychologists to ensure adherence to cognitive science. Yet the Schools of Education wish to monopolize both domains. Which is why we are where we are.
@cbokhove Sure. But for every top tier program like Singapore, there are multiple failing ones. Look who has been trusted to draft policy and curriculum in most countries.
@cbokhove And over that same time period as Ed Profs shifted the paradigm of instruction in schools, theres been catastrophic decline in math results in schools.
@cbokhove Its not really what aboutery when your initial premise is just an ad hominem. It reads a lot like your cage has gotten rattled by professional criticsm and you cant back up your claims.
