I'm growing stronger in a belief that teaching/indoctrination matters more than just general experience.
Don't get me wrong, I fully agree that life experiences are their own teaching. However, it seems clear that a coach/teacher added to the exact same experiences can lead to different learning. Curious if folks have any links to studies that disprove that?
- airstrike 2y agoOne such life adversity can be having bad teachers and unhelpful indoctrination in early life. If anything you're corroborating TFA's argument?
- taeric 2y agoSure? That feels to be stretching the adversity definition, though. Not having a good teacher does not mean you necessarily had a bad one, after all.
- hindsightbias 2y agoMoved a lot when young and generally not the greatest learning experiences but low in comparison to the adversity of many peers. One teacher recognized I had a learning disability at elementary level before teachers were trained on that kind of thing. Was able to work through that over time. HS counselor nominated me for a program that involved a long weekend trip to a medium sized university city. Never understood why I alone was chosen over peers. I think it happens to a lot of kids that way, it didn't take a village, curriculum or a coordinated effort. Just one or two educators doing one thing and changing a life completely. I'm sure just one authority figure over time can have a huge impact.
