I don't get why you're trying to be snarky and also obviously wrong. College isn't the only place to learn things. There's K-12, independent learning, and on the job learning, etc.
I define "evidence" in the usual way which excludes baseless speculation. As easily as you can imagine some fact that one might learn in college would be useful to a childcare worker, I can imagine that it would not be or that it would be learned elsewhere.
- bombolo 4y agoWhere would the "elsewhere" be? You're just arguing for the time spent learning to not be spent learning.
- hpen 4y agoThat’s garbage. Personally have 10 years experience as an iOS engineer. No degree. Where could I possibly of learned this knowledge without school! Not everyone needs to be spoon fed
- bombolo 4y agoMaking a bad app the first time is somehow not as bad as being a shitty educator to tens of kids, in my book. Certain professions have less leeway for mistakes than others. For example a surgeon vs a musician; or a software developer for phone apps vs a software developer for fly-by-wire components. > That’s garbage It isn't, and you being rude will not make my ideas any less valid.
- hpen 4y agoYes, and I can list examples that are more of a threat (screwing up an insulin monitor app). Your idea is invalid regardless of me being "rude". People have been watching and raising kids virtually forever without degrees. I was responding to your careless lack of need for evidence. The burden of proof is on those who want to demand such credentials.
- hpen 4y agoSpecifically you saying about "things you'd learn in college that might make you better at childcare" means the replier "redefine "evidence" to be "something that by definition I will reject"." is in fact garbage. "might" and "evidence" are not synonymous.
