Fires, Chapter 7

This chapter was about teaching difficult academic material. I am a firm believer in letting the text books perhaps be a guide or a resource, but NEVER your entire class or the basis for everything you teach. That is simply a waste of your students time, and frankly, it's a waste of your time and the education you received as well. I also think that it is important not to drill things into kids when they already know them, it will just breed contempt for the skill, not concrete knowledge. Videos can be used wonderfully to help with a lesson, but should never be used in place of teaching, or in place of reading.
