Message: <blockquote data-quote="melanien" data-source="post: 231840" data-attributes="member: 101730">Do teachers in the US say to children, â€œHuman beings used to be animals but evolved into intelligent beings.â€?I imagine some teachers do.  It's easier to teach by handing students information rather than working to make them think, teaching them how to think, teaching them the rules of thought, and having them work to come to reasonable conclusions.It is best to withhold conclusions and have the students struggle with the facts.  Teaching and learning well takes effort, but the kind of teaching described in your question is too low level in Bloom's taxonomy and too close to indoctrination.</blockquote>
