Q5. This article provided negative generalizations that overlooked the work that great teachers are doing each day. Change the narrative and provide something specific that gives you hope. #aplitchat

A4. Projects can create self directed learning environments in which students fulfill their natural curiosity that can be squelched by direct instruction. If students are engaged during class (45-60 minutes), how much more of their time should we expect to own outside of school? #aplitchat

Q4. Offer a counterargument to this statement: "So it (direct instruction) has been replaced by corn-syrup instruction: more projects, less homework, less memorization. " #aplitchat

Q3. "Direct instruction — by far the most effective form of teaching, from Aristotle to the present — is neither trendy for wannabe “reformers” nor easy for classroom teachers." Is there any truth to this? #aplitchat

A2. It was click bait, designed to elicit emotions by casting a broad net and it almost caught me until I realized that it was short on solutions as well as empathy. #aplitchat

A1. My first response to the article was more emotional than cognitive. I found myself feeling some of its sentiments. While this year has been different (because of a cell phone ban) the past two years have been somewhat vegetative. #aplitchat

As a teacher for 26 years, I’ve seen how we dumbed down education — and how kids suffer
Teachers have been faced with two choices: educating students with challenging material and frequent grading or engaging them with fun projects and participation grades.
