RE: Formal education: A tyranny of numbers: why I’m quitting teaching part 2/11
Sounds like a nightmare. This is not how people should learn.

Precesily why I'm getting out - at least with sociology the subject material is inherently interesting and you do have to 'think critically'so the exam taint isn't as bad as it could be - probably why I've lasted so long - but now the net's closing... fast!
Lucky to have you here on Steem where you can undoubtedly make a larger impact as an educator and passionate human in general. It'll be a no-brainer for kids to spend time places like here as the content grows and becomes more valuable / useful for learning.
Hey thanks - although being objective about it Word Press is still a better place for educators to store their material. But I do have a crazy plan to use steemit for teaching purposes next year.. although given that my target market is mainly 16-18s, I'm not sure how popular the idea will be with safety conscious parents !
I dunno - safety conscious parents wouldn't let them - with total open access and anonymous people on the platform, and a discord server for private chat?
Keep in mind that most educational instutions operate in lock down mode as the norm - i.e. CRB checks, web filtering, closed moodles - most parents wouldn't see past that.
I'm thinking about just limiting my first yr expt to >17s to counter this. Ideally itd be >18 but logistically I wouldnt get thenumbers if I did that!
