If I’m your teacher and I’m not smiling like this, just know it’s probably because you made me repeat the directions 17 times, interrupted me with a completely random question, or asked me what we’re doing after I literally just explained what we’re doing… FOR THE FIFTH TIME.
When my brother played at Iowa, I always heard that the visitors locker room was pink because Hayden Fry knew that color had a psychological effect on their opponent. I had to see if myself, and it is 100% true. To the point that some teams would bring their own wallpaper.

That’s a great analogy for teaching. If you go to the gym to work out and you have NO IDEA what you are doing, you need a trainer to ensure you are doing it safely, the correct way, and to understand what exercise works which body part. Just like a teacher. Nice try.
Why don’t we use a forklift to move weights at the gym?
Because the point isn’t to move the weights. It’s to get stronger.
The same is true of learning. If the goal is simply to get a task done as quickly as possible, technology will often do it better.
But at what cost? Excellent insights from @daisychristo.View quoted post on X
My mom is in her 80s, and I always underestimate her ability to navigate technology and find my TV segments when she can’t watch them live.
But one thing I NEVER underestimate is her ability to criticize whatever I’m wearing. 😂
