In this episode Femi and Matt discuss Robert Pondiscio's AEI Op-Ed titled 'Confronting 5 Damaging Educational Myths'. The discussion elicits some interesting and useful points with the following 6 myths coming under fire from the duo: “I don’t teach facts. I teach critical thinking.” “Reading is a skill.” “This is too hard/inappropriate/irrelevant for my students.” “Children have different learning styles.” “Teach kids to think like a scientist” (or a historian or other expert) “Who needs rote learning? You can just Google facts.”
