I think this has much to do with your experiences in life, as a learner, your
learning/teaching style, and your personal philosophy. Although I am an older
"newer" teacher, I hold more progressive views than my team partner, who is 20
years my junior and holds more traditional views.
I tend to listen to everything with an open mind and ask lots of questions,
then after mulling it around for awhile and trying new things, I make my
decision. She's not interested in anything different, or what she calls
"kumbayah teaching." I escaped a very coercive school climate early on, my team
partner worked under these conditions for 5 years. Maybe that has something to
do with our different outlooks, because we both graduated from college the same
year.
Anyway, I think making assumptions about anyone is wrong, and only serves to
divide. I like to think that I can learn from others, and maybe they can learn
from me.

How children learn is as important as what they learn: process and content go
