The customers bring baggage so they should be ignored? What does that even mean? This kind of sounds like a grooming mindset. Parents know a whole hell of a lot more about their kid than any teacher will.
You could turn it around and say, "I work a menial government job. If I know so much about learning, why am I incapable of getting a job teaching people with brains larger than a grapefruit?"
- richrichie 3y agoEasy there. I did not say they do not know about their kids. My claim is that they do not necessarily know about “learning”. And most do not.
- iraqmtpizza 3y agoMaybe you work in the hood where the moms are all on crack, but I kind of doubt that you do. What knowledge about learning do you have which is both non-obvious and which confers a measurable benefit to students? I haven't found that education is particularly data-driven, or found education specialists to be particularly impressive, so unless you're some teaching savant, I don't expect you'll have anything. Also, knowing something about learning is different than being able to apply it; I know that apprenticeship in Austin is superior to sitting in a class of 35 students in Baltimore, but that doesn't matter if it's not going to happen
