or - perhaps... what if it's not even about making connections for kids.. finding what motivates them.. but rather...
facilitating their natural curiosity and wonder..

imagine that.

i don't know.. scary.. his thinking .. just as dangerous as testing.. no? assuming we know what is best for another person. assuming college is it. teaching is an act of seduction? making kids love what you're selling? 

i just don't think we need that. learning/life has its own allure.

 I know very well what’s important to English language learners, as well as what they will need to avoid taking zero-credit remedial courses when they enter college. From all I’ve seen, the state and city governments haven’t got the remotest clue.Teaching is an act of seduction. It’s about making kids love what you’re selling, which is education, their future. The obsession with testing is destroying that. The notion that a teacher can be judged on a test which is likely to be total crap is absurd, and it’s remarkable we even need to discuss it.

Critical thinking required: 21 Century Agenda + #edu voiced.ca/?p=2107 concerns are relevant to keep on table cc@monk51295 @johnccarver

Given the state of education, one might think that aspiring to higher achievement standards, good literature, student testing and accountability, and closing the education gap were the wave of the future. Some even hope that sound curriculum, good teaching and critical thought might make a comeback.

Alvin Toffler calls this method of instruction “unlearning.” In times of dramatic change, when your old habits are preventing you from succeeding against new odds, you have to first see what trouble your old habits get you into. Before you can move forward, you have to see your best intuitions, skills, and patterns not only aren’t helping you move forward; they are what are holding you back.

Noam Kostucki Yeah :) I can tell you that when I dropped out of university and everything told me it was a dumb idea... I would have never guessed that this would be what I'd read about myself 6 years down the line :)
