Don't know shit in class

  I’d like to probably incorrectly argue that going off to find some passionate person on YouTube to re-lecture you can be of more benefit (or at least less stress but less effective) than doing practice questions and shit.

  I know this doesn’t stand up to scrutiny but fuck I hate homework.

    Nah, this totally checks out. Learning is learning. Different methods work for different people

    No you’re right, most people find it much easier to engage with a teacher who is genuinely enthusiastic about what they’re teaching

    Another factor is that one on one learning is beneficial for people who are prone to distraction even without the interaction benefits everyone gets from typical one on one learning (with two people in the same room)

      The teachers I remember were all enthusiastic about their subjects.

    I can personally vouch that its medically impossible for me to remain focused for an entire lecture which is just a teacher talking

    While online self learning has non of those benefits. I can control speed to get information before i get distracted. Can go back as much as i need to and often uses much more visual stimulation.

  This is just “what educators have known about education for decades” in meme format.

  Different people do best learning in different ways. And different people learn different subjects at different rates. Grouping people my age, putting them all in lectures during the day and having them all do task work at home is not a good solution to education.

  It was great when it was introduced, because it brought the majority of uneducated people up to a minimum level where they could read and do arithmetic. But compared to what we COULD be doing now that we know more and are better at it, this sort of industrial era “factory line” approach is idiotic.

  And educators have known it for a long time now. Government just hasn’t caught up

    what educators have known

    What good educators have known about (which in my experience is certainly the majority). I definitely had some select teachers in high school and college that were convinced that if you couldn’t learn the same way as everybody else it was somehow a ding on them (even though it was far more a ding on the rigidity of an aging rote recall / (as you said) factory line education structure), and therefore you were stupid/didn’t care/not worth the effort.

      In my lexicon, educators and teachers are not synonymous :3

      But yeah, you are totally correct

      My ex had an early grade school teacher hit the left handedness out of her with a ruler. Sometime around the year 2000.

      Last year, my daughter missed lunch a few times because her teacher insisted on finishing the work before eating so she could say she never assigns homework. Luckily a meeting with the principal ended that quick, once we found out about it (poor kid thought she’d get in more trouble if we found out). Daughter did best when the old bag was replaced with a sub for a couple months while she dealt with some medical issue, since the sub actually cared. She’s got a great teacher this year and is thriving when she was previously struggling.

  Learning with extra steps.

  Like the idea of giving students to fit as many notes on a 3x5 card for a test as they can to use during a test, it’s also indirectly studying the material.

    Me, using red and blue pens and wearing old school 3d glasses to school so I have double notes.

    • RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Hah, my kid wanted to do that. We didn’t have the glasses (used for Anaglyph 3D) around, but the school let them use a printer to print on the card. You can get a lot on a 3x5 with a laser printer that is still readable.

  best cheating strategy

• Hikermick@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  In high school I had a very fine point tip pen for making cheat sheets. One day one of the stoners saw me making one and asked for a copy so I made him one. Later, two other stoners asked for copies so by the time I had to take the test, I had written everything four times and didn’t need the cheat sheet. This is how I learned writing things down is an effective memory tool.

    A ton of greentext is just “this is funny because it’s a story of someone thinking they gamed the system by in fact just thinking for themselves while still being a part of the system.” But this is even just a more general comedic trope www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO-i4X2cleA

  Honestly a good advice. Schema X to learn is not suitable for everyone.

    This hurts a lot to watch, but I really appreciate the conclusion she draws at the end about showing gratitude for positive impacts even if the experience isn’t great as a whole. A few times I have gotten thank-you emails after a semester that have remained extremely meaningful to me many years later. I wish I could let them know the impact it had, but I’m not going to hunt down old students. I would say don’t feel any need to send something if you don’t fully mean it though, platitudes after a student sees their grade are not the same. They’re not insulting but if it feels like a template the student could send to all their professors with a couple changes it just comes across as networking.

  It’s private tutoring, but free.
  IP sure could have used that when I was in high school instead of my useless parents…

  I have to find things at least mildly interesting to be able to memorize them in a useful way, so it was especially impressive that one of my science teachers made science I usually found fascinating into something I just couldn’t give enough of a shit about to pass the class. Partly had to do with the multiple hours of copying down definitions of words from a book as homework every single night.
