Default Re: Fun Facts

This is a perfect example of a lot of the misinformation that is not only going around the media, but our damn school systems as well. How the hell are our kids going to grow up being free thinkers when teachers, and I'm not just talking about your teacher Typhoid, feel the need to taint lessons with politics slanted to their particular brand of propoganda.

I'm going to school to become a teacher, and one of the first things I id was promise myself to present every side of an argument, and let the student decide for themselves. If a student is positive that one idea is true, I will present him with the argument forthe counter to that idea. It's called creating Cognitive Disequilibrium and is a Contructivist way to let students decide for themselves what their views are, and not simply to shove your ideas down their impressionable throats.
