but to a 22 year old student most of these ideas are stupid --
because you have not experienced the appropriate EXPLORATION LESSONS ( but you will in the next 20 years )
that allow for meaningful CONCEPT INTRODUCTION.
A teacher's duty is to put students into confusion -- cognitive and affective disequilibrium - because the only road out of confusion is -- thinking. See related concepts dealing with Discrepant Events. The "egg in the bottle" is a cognitive discrepant event -- and my saying all teachers should teach 800 miles from their home town -- is an affective discrepant event. It goes against everything you've "bought" at the perceptual psychology store of life. Confusion.
Save these for 15 years -- read them again -- they'll make much, much more sense -- because you'll have the Exploration Lessons that go with them.
Really. :-)
