Of course this is not great, but I'd rather brace for an earthquake that never comes than have one hit me out of the blue.

Definitely looking like the earthquake early warning was entirely in error now. This has happened before when two small quakes are mistaken for one big one.

The field of education is simply lousy with nonsense like this.

💡A survey of Australian teachers found 88% believe in the learning styles myth, 38% believe students learn better through discovery than explicit instruction, 41% believe testing tends to detract from learning.

If you're taught neuromyths about learning from someone who is supposed to be an expert, you'll likely believe them.

The report rightly recommends strengthening initial teacher education, among other things.
