Reddit reviews The Saber-Tooth Curriculum, Classic Edition

Save you some time, this book relates to this thread, The Saber-Tooth Curriculum. Besides we are not teaching kids to liberate themselves from an oppressive economic system, we are teaching them to take part in a system that benefits the establishment and maintains the status quo. Education is not being taught for the individual to help them achieve their full potential (Aristotelian). The "ends" of education is for the establishment (the ruling class) and helps them make profit on their capital. A hierarchy class can only exist on the basis of ignorance and poverty.

I completely understand your point now.

My point(s) is/are (with the bullet points) is that after my 76 credit hours of post-grad, two master's degrees in teaching, then education, teaching credential, admin credential, ten years (12 really) of experience, and pirated learning lectures I have confirmed conclusions I reached at 15 years of age working at my grandfather's business. I essentially found more academic ways of expressing my conclusions.

But criticizing my bullet points for their superficiality on Reddit is like criticizing me for not being a well-rounded individual while we are paired during a speed-dating meet. Superficiality is the byproduct of the medium.

Now to address my second criticism:

To quote: <Moreover, it's this kind of thinking, i.e. that what I understand as good teaching based on my private practices is the same as universally good practice, is incredibly destructive to the efforts to reform schools.

So you say I am 'doing it wrong' while referring me to a source that is locked in the 'ivory towers' of academia. This is what is wrong with education. The flow of knowledge is not FREE. I would love to learn more about how to improve my pedagogy (which is part of the reason why I doubled down on a Masters). But how can do that when every critic I talk to tells me I do it wrong and I have to spend $10 to ingest their snake oil - and it is snake oil until proven otherwise. Solution? Forward your copy of the report you wanted me to read to [email protected]. I genuinely really appreciate it.

Now - I'm going to do to you what you did to me - if you want to discuss the merits of practice v. theory read this

I am willing to mail you my copy.
