Should Teachers Have Strong Opinions?
Those two things should not be mutually exclusive.
You should not have to give up the one to be able to do the other.
Teachers should not have to relinquish their judgment in order to run an effective classroom. In fact, you might expect good judgment to be a prerequisite to doing the job well.
Yet it seems many people disagree. They like their teachers tame, docile and opinion-free.
That’s just not me.
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying teachers should instruct their students to think just like them. I’m not saying they should indoctrinate or unduly influence the young people in their care.Should Teachers Have Strong Opinions? | gadflyonthewallblog:
