They haven ' t received their permits to build like this <| sep |> That ' s the worst thing I ' ve ever read . Those poor children . <| sep |> That was painful to watch . Hilariously painful . <| sep |> food for thought how can one be ' only trained to teach ' without knowing or understanding subject matter ? Let ' s be real for a second she probably didn ' t need to be qualified in areas other than teaching itself . if you arent capable of performing and understanding the curriculum well enough to show others how to do it or use it , you ' re not a teacher despite whatever learning strategies you impose on your students . that ' s the thing about teaching nobody can actually teach you how to teach teaching is not rehearsed strategies of explaining information . One teaches by fully understanding the material itself , explaining it in their own understanding , then demonstrating , answering questions thoughtfully , and supplying evidence of that material ' s validity . Training someone to teach something is entirely dependent on subject matter , not a blanket catchall of ' i learned how to teach '. that kind shit is an unqualified , outright lie . someone with a degree in Education has no fucking clue how to teach high school biology . theyre handed a curriculum and are told to learn it to the same passing level the students are required to . that ' s it . Something tells me that education major didnt go into biology for a reason they are not capable of making that their life ' s focus to understand . But people trained in biology did , and can teach a hundred times more efficiently than that education major can . source of opinion my sister teaches AP magnet biology for premedinterested high school students . Her fellow teachers have shit passing scores , with the norm as 30 % at best , and they have education degrees . My sister double majored in bio and chem , worked in an ALS research lab , and is thoroughly passionate about science . Her students have a 90 % passing rate on final exams . The other teachers scoff at her and say she must be giving her students the test answers for them to pass so frequently . Its actually because she loves biology , can answer any question in regards to the curriculum and far far far beyond , and spends her evenings grading thoughtfully , weekends in study groups with her students so they can better understand , and recording supplementary video lectures off the clock with audio and explicit diagrams and information in a format like a science documentary . she receives more respect from her students than any other instructor at her school , which contains a mix of students of many ethnicities from lowincome and midincome level families . tldr sorry for the ugly rant , bad ' educators ' make me livid !
