Re: Point to Ponder

More | Report Post

If the whole point of education is to teach kids to think for
themselves, question, what they've learned, and generally be
"critical thinkers", then why do almost all education professors
refuse to tolerate students who disagree with their world view?

If we need teachers, why are schools of education allowed to tell
incoming graduate students they "will need to take freshman
English" when they APEd out of it in high school--and fight them
when they file for a waiver?
