@dibblego @etorreborre @rickasaurus Yeah I dont think that test is about abstraction, 'D' is just as specific as 'Beer'

@dibblego @etorreborre @rickasaurus If anything it cements the point that specific examples that the audience can relate to...

@dibblego @etorreborre @rickasaurus are insufficient in terms of teaching general concepts

@dom_dere @etorreborre @rickasaurus I assume you've met the student that tells you that specific examples help him/her? He/she is lying.

@dibblego @dom_dere @etorreborre @rickasaurus Did you need to learn set theory in order to learn to count?

@nuttycom @dibblego @etorreborre @rickasaurus Haha, I think the starting point is "I have to teach something general, how do i do it?"

@nuttycom @dibblego @etorreborre @rickasaurus "Would you use counting to teach Set Theory" is more in line with the discussion i think

@nuttycom @dibblego @etorreborre @rickasaurus Or even "how would you connect a demo of counting bananas to the general concept of counting"?
