    In school, curiosity is hardly ever taught or nurtured, breeding legions of students who’ve lost all love of learning.

        add creativity and empathy to that list...and it's an awful trifecta. Multiple black holes on our educational approach.

        Neil one of my students said to me this week "facts and knowledge are useless without creativity". He's in sixth grade.

        You know there are 1,000's of fellow teachers who are trying to pust this reputation behind us, right? 1/2

        Perhaps use your notoriety to inspire & encourage instead of lament & complain. 2/2

        This sounds ridiculously like "racism doesn't exist because I'm not racist." You may very well be legit, but statistically the prob exists.

        Not saying it doesn't exist, but there is a concerted effort in modern pedagogy & professional development to making learning authentic.

        And "concerted effort" doesn't represent the majority. Responsibility lies on us to change it widespread.
