Yup. Turns out that in many education classes most students get an A. Wish there had been blogs back when I was taking education classes. OTOH, the language that I probably would have used to describe the drivel that I was exposed to and expected to spout back would have most likely earned me a lifetime ban from blogging.
George Leef has an interesting article over at the Pope Center.
$25,000 and two years of my life and I would say that absolutely none of it made me a better teacher. Know what made me a better teacher? Four years in the classroom and three or four teachers who were willing to spend time working through various classroom management ideas with me to figure out what would work for me. Yep. That's how long it took for me to figure it out. Wonder if I had spent a couple years in the classroom as an apprentice, Japanese style, if I might have been able to do it in two and been four years ahead of the game? Not to mention what I could have bought with $25,000. Let's see. My car, my Harley, and my credit card would all be paid off in full.
