@chezaristote @SWGoldman @GregMcBrayer3 I think it’s useful to know the necessary, if not sufficient, criterion of the varieties of good teaching, though.
English
@SWGoldman @second_sailing @GregMcBrayer3 It seems like good teaching might be one of the stranger exceptions to a kantian idea of universal principle, it’s not just that there’s not one way to codify it, or that exceptions exist, but that our particular examples of what a remarkable teacher does are always opposite
English
“Faculty should meet to talk about teaching on a regular basis: troubleshooting, sharing insights, discussing best practices. Master teachers ought to serve as mentors for less experienced ones, including through team-teaching…”

Sure, our public schools are gigafrying childrens’ brains by giving them iPads at age five, but at least those kids are still graduating borderline technologically illiterate
Paul Schofield@pschofie79
Relevant to that story about Lower Merion saying that parents cannot refuse iPads

@SWGoldman @GregMcBrayer3 I think charisma is a side effect of actual passion or wonder

@GregMcBrayer3 I've seen great teachers who barely said anything in class. I've seen great teachers who wouldn't shut up. How are both possibly? I don't know!

I guess I mean, it’s completely contingent. So just continue to do your best, and don’t be surprised or offended.

Having done quite a bit of writing now, I am extremely confused by the offers I get, and the ones I don’t.

In a very general sense having such intimate access to so much confident stupidity is just bad for one's mind and heart

Guy who cannot read Ancient Greek arguing with people who can read Ancient Greek about the technical nuances of Ancient Greek translation is sort of the Platonic ideal of Twitter interactions

I just watched a video of a woman who looks like Mama June from Honey Boo-Boo making a dish called “Diet Coke Chicken,” who was doing so knowing her following objected to it, and expressing a very healthy skepticism about living according to the regard of others.
English
Yeah, that’s definitely, incontrovertibly true

This is maybe why the liberal education folks and the real scientists are leading the resistance on this issue

The pedagogical questions around AI are actually inseparable from the “content” of the issue for students’ lives.

@NickAllmaier Well you’ll be able to see the beautiful top of my hair

@CallowayScott Phaedrus reverses the account in Aeschylus about who is a lover and who a beloved. I don't at all object to the general cultural point, I just think that it's funny to use Phaedrus' speech, since this example is obviously meant to make the speaker look bad in context
English
@second_sailing I mean this is accurate in as far as no one persona in the dialogues is a complete stand in for "Plato's views"—but Phaedrus expresses well the cultural consensus of 5-4th century Greeks here
English
lol unfortunately Phaedrus in the Symposium is not a great representative of whatever Plato’s views might actually be
Sami Gold@souljagoyteller
Madeline Miller didn’t need to make up out of thin air that Achilles and Patroclus were gay, Plato already called them lovers over 2,000 years ago
English
@dwaldenwrites @theo_nash But if someone wants to cite fragments from Aeschylus, go right ahead. My point is very narrow.
English
@dwaldenwrites @theo_nash And Phaedrus also seems to be refuting Aeschylus in his speech, if I recall
