Someone once said, "There is nothing wrong with education - as long as it doesn't get in the way of learning" and "There is more to teaching than telling just as there is more to learning than listening." And so educators, in search of profundity on the matter, stretch our imaginations with concepts like, Social Cognitive Theory, Learning Environments, and Behavioral Analysis. Is it really all that complicated? And what's with the PHD's? Don't they even care when one of their own casts doubt on their profession with new winding thoughts of yet another theory that, after all, is founded on yet another study that now, oh my gosh, contradicts existing, as we know it (but it is obviously now out dated) theory? I would just once like to hear of some accountability among the brainiacs of education, or at least hear a university reprimand or remove a professor for teaching some of the stuff these folks teach. What say you?
All things cogent
