This is Part 2 of an ongoing series where Jethro Jones and I go through ideas that most educators accept ... And that we REJECT!
"Thinking about thinking is the most important kind of thinking."
-Christopher Lochhead
In each episode we'll riff on 3 ideas that we think
Ruckus Makers should reject. And ... just because we say you should reject the idea ... you should think for yourself and maybe even reject what we say!
Try it on for fit. Do what we say. Take action.
If you get a result keep it. If not ... throw it out.
We would do the same. Miss Part 1? Watch it here.
