RE: STEM Breakthrough Contest: Improved Early STEM Teaching

in #teaching • 6 years ago (edited)

First, I would like to commend you for choosing teaching as a profession. I believe it to be the most honorable and important vocation to which a person can aspire.

You make a many good points and your insight, as an experienced teacher, into the silly notion that the ability to learn a subject is genetic is refreshing!

At the age of 58, I do my best to be a life-long learner. I am no longer a teenager who has the answer to everything. For the forgoing reason, I wish to thank you for sharing this post. I have been given a great deal to mull-over.

I plan to share this post in the Pimp Your Post Thursday Show (PYPT) this morning hosted by @shadowspub.

This is what I call...       and while I have not looked at the other entries for @themarkymark's contest, I believe this article to be the frontrunner!

    Life long learning is always a great thing to have! It is the idea that we are eternally interested and curious enough to want to discover more and more... and it keeps boredom and apathy at bay quite nicely as well!

    I'm not directly a teacher as such, I do teaching privately... so, it is sort of teaching, but the teachers who work in a classroom have their work to be much much much harder than anything I have to do! I think teaching 30 teenagers who have at best varying levels of interest in what you are saying... whilst being hamstrung by a oddly designed curriculum... well, they are real heroes!

    Thanks you for sharing my post!
