@DeplorableEdD@educator4ever36 This is true. There is also a developmental component. Some kids' brains are not ready for the leap from concrete to abstract thinking. We can try to make concepts concrete, but it doesn't always work well.
@grlfrmboston@al_alj7@Intrepid_Edu Interesting. How do you feel about men having "easy access" to teenage girls in high school? Are you listening to yourself?? We need more men in elementary schools.
@unlearn16tweet@lukin2006 Careful...not "all" of us cheered. Many of us are counting down to the day we get to wave bye-bye. At least, we're hoping to. Assuming he doesn't do something to screw over the Constitution.
@WillDad@educator4ever36@nickimoraa So...you want the teacher to be a source for materials, but not instruction? Nope. It doesn't work that way. Find the materials yourself.
@laurelmmmmm@LusciousPotate@ModestTeacher There are a lot of reasons why schools are created. Wouldn't it be great if all parents had options for where their children get an education?
@LusciousPotate@ModestTeacher Indoctrination: "the process of teaching individuals to accept beliefs, ideologies, or doctrines uncritically and without question, often focusing on instilling one-sided views. Parents do that all the time.
@LusciousPotate@ModestTeacher You don't think you're indoctrinating your kids or teaching them what to think? You just don't like what (you think) schools are teaching, so you are teaching them what you want.
