Day 9...
Ok, so today I asked my crazy smart professor to give me an example of what she wanted because I (and the entire dead silent class...I mean seriously, crickets chirping quiet!) didn't have a clue about what she was looking for.
The reply I got....."Oh no...I am not going to do all the work!"
Umm, Really!??!? All the work!??! I'm looking for an example to help me learn...is it not your work to teach me???? I mean...am I paying for this class to leave the room more confused than when I walked in?
If confusion is the goal......I get that at the Midway talking to a drunken Big D.. Meanwhile, I'm getting paid, receiving a bunch of high-fives, and hearing that I am "Class A" over & over & over again (whatever the hell "Class A" means). Paying for confusion twice a week just doesn't make sense. I get plenty confused bar-tending on Sunday nights!
Here (in my opinion) is the problem with really, really smart people, people who are experts in their field...of let's say...Math or maybe...Philosophy....if the information comes naturally to you--then you probably shouldn't try teaching it to others.
Being able to EDUCATE, is much different than being EDUCATED.
Let's say someone asked me to give them an example of "How To Use A Blog To Sabotage Your College Education?". Being an educator first, and an expert in "blogs getting you in trouble"second....of course, I'd give them an example............ I'd show them this very post!
