  1. @pepepacha The difference is one allows you to learn from others, the other stops you from learning (IMHO).

  3. @pepepacha Learning how others think is not the same as learning to think like the other.
  4. I love what Daniel Pink has to say here -> http://bit.ly/28Q4n5 Makes me think.
  5. @pepepacha Love Glee!
  6. @nightmathradio The problem is, the indoctrinators never think of it that way.
  7. @nightmathradio Yes. I guess I'm thinking of indoctrination vs. thinking.
  8. @nightmathradio It is one thing to learn FROM others, it is another to learn to think like others.
  9. @nightmathradio As someone who grew up in the Catholic faith, and had his mom tell him he was going to hell when he left. Yes.
  10. @nightmathradio When mimicking they are practicing techniques, not being told to think like them.
  11. I'm not sure it is possible to do both. Teaching for one naturally compromises the other.
  12. Is education about teaching students to think like us (cultural literacy and all that) or to think for themselves?
  13. @nightmathradio How true, how true!

  15. @nightmathradio True. At the same time, some parents refuse to give any program a chance if it doesn't look like what they did as kids, even
  16. @nightmathradio to "be on the ball." No matter how good the program is, a clueless teacher will ruin it.
  17. @nightmathradio We did choose the program because we felt it did a pretty good job of both - IMHO, any good program requires the teachers
  18. @nightmathradio Thanks for the suggestion. The drive to the bay area may be a bit much (I'm just south of L.A.), but I'll contact her.
  19. @nightmathradio Ahh... I didn't know that. What can you tell me about her? I don't know who she is, so that didn't weigh in decision.
  20. @nightmathradio Uh, I don't know who Judy Kysh is. CPM = College Preparatory Mathematics.
