My Twitter post today: If you think there is anything more to teaching than giving permission, think again.
We complicate things like teaching, mentoring and education. We think it’s about pedagogical strategies that lend themselves to standardized tests. We consternate over the failure rates of students.
I'm happy that we are that concerned about the next generation’s success. But they don’t need tests. They don’t need clever micromanaged curriculums.
They need permission.
Period.
