Yes. The CI World feels it has to act in accordance to beliefs, trauma etc… about school rather than what is true about acquisition.
Yes and that is why I’m so glad we have Craig’s thread that comes and goes here over the years, the thread of disengaged students. We need to talk about that specific thing from time to time for our mental health. I met Craig in LA a few years ago, in Lake Elsinore in Mike Peto’s old classroom, and his personality is not fiery, he is laid back and very pleasant and KIND and I’m sure he could hold a group of adults or other motivated language learners for hours. Yet here is is with a continuation class made up of kids whose fuses have failed, been blown by school. He has no other jobs for him to run off to. Yet he keeps going to work. So this thread is important. The front lines are not teaching the privileged few. Anybody could do that. The front lines of this war are being fought in the (only apparently) struggling and boring classes. Why? Because all struggle is in my view the same as triumph. All struggle is the same as triumph, and when we think we fail and teach a bad class we simply don’t. Because we tried and we didn’t make them memorize and hence are on the Train of Change, which is not a high speed train.
