I guess you think only intentional straw-men arguments exist. This isn't the case. They can also arise from misunderstanding, which I think is what happened here. To spell it out: user moksly described an instance of the inverted classroom. You selectively quoted and misunderstood this to be about (university-style) lectures, and proceeded to argue against lectures.¹ I resent that you didn't take my clue to learn about the inverted classroom concept, that way you could have noticed your mistake.
¹ FWIW: I agree that lectures are not suitable for school pupils.
- lordnacho 6y agoMy deepest apologies, I didn't know that what he was describing was what you call an "inverted classroom" until you replied and I looked it up. The thing is, I don't see how it really matters. You still end up requiring kids to sit still when they can't do it. I guess my focus is on smaller kids. I fully agree with modern comms you can do the inverted classrooms with people older than maybe 12 or so, I'm unsure where the line is.
