So how do you teach a child the difference between a dog and a cat without context?
As a teacher you should know this from education classes. Once you get beyond teaching the basics of literacy and arithmetic, context does indeed matter!
A chair is something you sit on, but you can sit on the floor or on a table! Have a child describe a chair. Any legs? Armrests? Wheels? Footrest? Head support? It's not so easy!
@Hegelmaus81 Really? How many Graduate Degrees do you have? How long have you been a High School Teacher? How many teenage students have you had that come to you that can't do 4th grade math or read at a 6th grade level?
YOU are the reason US Public ED is the laughing stock of the developed world. Unless you are a student or parent, then it is absolutely a crying shame.
You are beyond ignorant, you are criminally STUPID! So keep your uninformed, biased, meaningless opinions to yourself!
@VVillowz So "Aristotelian principles" are a bad thing? You need to be a lot clearer. Are you defending Dewey and progressive education, or are you smarter than that?
"regurgitated"?? Aristotelian Philosophy is vomit? Or have just been repeated due to their value? Since I'm pretty sure you have NO IDEA what you're talking about, if you have a point (no matter how vague it may be), try and make it.
What utter psycho-babble BS!
"There is no Knowledge, it's all contextual". What a perfect example of why Dewey and his fellow fools have ruined US Public Education!
"what is a door? What is open? What is closed?' MY GOD, what complete stupidity!!
As these fools ponder the lint in their navels, we teachers are trying to teach literacy and arithmetic.
OH, but wait!! no reason to learn all the useless knowledge, it's ALL just contextual!!!

@ManchuDan22 You go on with Aristotelian principles that have been regurgitated over 2000+ years.

@VVillowz Well, that's about what I expected, no answers to my questions, and a response straight out of 3rd Grade. Goodbye.
