The lack of large human experience let these
colleagues to share this limited opinion. I have been thinking that for limited
minds only large human experience can afford more open minds....But how can we
do so? To take Vivian Hamilton and Herb Coleman and tell them that
their human experience is limited? They did not believe in this. I am turning
myself more and more pessimistic...

Louis, it seems to me that you
are befuddled because you don't listen. Your colleagues here on this list
serve are telling you that we do get it. We do care about
students. We do care about teaching and we are trying to
improve. It doesn't help when you pull out one of your "let me show
you how awful teachers are" letters or stories. I'm sure we could all
bring up countless examples of bad teaching but hat's not what this list
serve is about. We're trying to improve teaching of psychology by
sharing ideas, experiences and resources. When you deride the
profession and include everyone but your self, you set up the caustic
environment that you say you want to avoid. Through this list and our
personal interactions I also see that you are not open to anyone else's
opinion but your own. When ever someone simply has a different view
than you then they are some how flawed.
I would like to suggest that
if you truly want to improve teaching give us more lollipop moments or other
helpful techniques that have worked for you and fewer not-so-random thoughts
about how awful all those teachers are out there.
I'd like to think
that's just my opinion but the recent spate of emails tells me
different.
