Episode 105: Teachers: maybe it's time to dump the bad theories that hold children down (Wed., July 5, 2023)

Keep It Real. No  More Theory.You can do something--that's real life. Or you can talk about doing something, which is theory. Too much theory and there's no real life left.I think that education to an astonishing degree is theory-driven. That's professors talking, talking, talking.This means concretely that a bunch of highly paid experts could spend a whole day talking about education and never mention a single thing that students need to learn..Sometimes, just glancing around a room or a street or a scene I'll see something that was never mentioned when I was in school. Actual knowledge, actual facts, these should be the entire essence of teaching and education but in fact they're often the last items mentioned.Background article:K-12: In Praise of WOW ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The best way to understand problems in public schoolsis by reading this book: Saving K-12---------------------------------------------------------------------Word-Wise Education757-455-5020Bruce Deitrick Price    ------Subscribe to  this podcast "Let's Fix Education": https://www.buzzsprout.com/1792553/supporters/new    ------"Support Education Reform"Why it's an urgent issue and how you can help: http://spot.fund/SupportEducationReform----------------------------------------------------------------=======================================New novel: Art and Beauty.  Crime fiction.
