    Some educators, who are quick to say "These students just don't want to learn”, should instead be saying "I suck at my job”.

        @neiltyson It has become quite fashionable to teacher-bash. Those who will profit from privatized education have engineered this trend.

        @neiltyson Many students have no interest in learning because the way we've taught for decades makes it feel like work, not adventure.

        @Senator48 Rethink the notion there are "SOME" educators who might need to rethink their approach when it comes to their job? I think not.
