Revision as of 13:30, April 29, 2009
, 13:30, April 29, 2009→Canada a colony during WWI?
::: Clement, I asked you two simple questions above: (1) "if you've ever been so nit-picky about any teacher or textbook you've had in the past" and (2) "how many hours and weeks and years of your own time have you donated to guiding teenagers to good colleges and careers, and away from the addictions and depressions that plague so many of them?" You didn't answer them. Surely you're at least capable of answering those simple questions. Godspeed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 08:50, 29 April 2009 (EDT)

::::#yes, I have always been a stickler for precision. In class, I would have pointed out a blunder like enumerating Russia with the winners of the Great War at once, while I would have commented on a minor question of taste (clearly, dominion is preferable to colony) afterward. In my experience, the better teachers could answer my critique - or at least, postponed a discussion - while other teachers took refuge in sarcasm or distraction. As for textbooks: I wrote to a couple of textbook editors. In my experience, the answers were always thankful, to the point and explanatory: either, they promised to rectify things in future editions, or, they explained at length - and fully satisfactory - their choice of words. None of them ever tried to play hide-and-seek.
::::#at the moment, more than thirty hours a week: I'm a teacher (History, Math) in Germany.
