Comparing the education of young children and young adults to dentists is absurd. The example shows exactly what people like Sven and Snert get wrong about education of children and young adults.
You are taking an "article" from The Onion seriously?!? Although I wasn't the one posting the link, I think Snert meant it as a joke.
Sven, you are not interested in evaluation of learning...
I disagree, but what you think I think is not really relevant.
How would you proposed student learning be evaluated? And, critically, how would you propose such evaluations be done such that one teacher in a classroom is not using a completely different standard for that evaluation than the standard being used by the teacher standing in the classroom next door who is teaching the same subject to the same grade?
