        @sapinker 4) "Teaching teachers" w/out agreement on practice is impossible. 5) Willingham not "unbiased expert" yet treated as such.

        @Ed_Realist @sapinker & no a/c taken of ongoing learning, complex public/socialising role of teachers. Reduction to lists is weak analysis.

        @sapinker Badly educated, as in, brainwashed? Even if in most cases, they require only a light rinse?

        @sapinker 3) research is neutral on his claims. Teachers w/higher math ability != better student outcomes. Likewise phoneme awareness.

        @sapinker 2) in math, he doesn't mention whether knowing *how* to teach math is important, only that "teachers don't know math".

        @sapinker Notice how @DTWillingham mixes and matches. 1) Teacher reading ability irrelevant, but they must know how to teach reading, but ..
