Spoken like someone who's never taught a difficult subject.
More to the point: this is what anti-intellectualism looks like, and it's not something to be proud of. If you made the effort to understand the occasional cryptic idea, you'd be amazed at the number of useful things you would learn.
- throwawayignt 11y agoI'm sorry, can you give a single example in the arts and sciences of something that has a reputation for "poor pedagogy"? (But is in fact just inherently difficult.) Here are some inherently difficult subjects: quantum field theory, advanced calculus, orbital mechanics. Do any of these subjects suffer from a reputation of "poor pedagogy"? I was referring instead to specific technological solutions, and, specifically, to encountering the idea that a subject "merely" suffers from poor pedagogy. My comment had zero to do with the difficulty of any subject.
