would you teach a subject based on facts and conclusive evidence or a subject that deals with ideas and theories? Or would you simply say hell with it and teach Phys Ed?

Ideas and theory - the basis of what I teach. I enjoy seeing the students form their own individual opinions and defending them, even to the point of debating.

|
|
|

I'd teach parenting skills and adult living. There's not enough of that in schools
|

I'm an old school empiricist which is why I taught secondary social studies.

I haven't really seen enough "Facts" to answer that...
There is some "Conclusive Evidence" in many subjects, but Math+Geometry/Trigonometry is the nearest thing to being "Factual" that I've encountered... (Other than Taxes and Death.) Phys Ed sounds good too... Example: I was a Mine Safety Instructor... I taught the use of Explosives... The only thing I can say with "Absolute Certainty" is... 1.) A charge properly prepared and detonated WILL go BOOM! ( If the explosive was properly manufactured.) 2.) The farther you are away from the blast, the better chance you have of NOT being injured! Yep, Phys Ed sounds good... |

I'll take sex ed Teaching it in middle school is a scream. Our science teacher always comes in with a hysterical story about questions asked or reactions students had to the material. |

'When the student is ready, the teacher will arrive.'
Whatever a child wishes to learn, is what I would assist them with. It's what I do...as a parent, an adult and a participant in this society. We are all educators. |

I teach science. I think you have to have a nice mix of both facts and ideas and theory!

I would like to teach an unorthodox building design class
