4 thoughts on “Socrates”
To misquote Lloyd Benson, Dan Quayle’s debater: I know Socrates. Socrates is a friend of mine. And that, sir, is no Socrates.
Socrates would encourage discussion with no limits on talking.
But the point I wanted to make is that we claim to do Socratic work with our kids but don’t. We grade them instead. The real teachers are gone, replaced by a bunch of assessment driven imposters.
I get it, just joshin’. If only we could teach more like Socrates.
Where can one learn more about “non-grading”? I’ve read Punished by Rewards, and I think I get it now, but where are these places and how exactly have they functioned. I mean, there has to be some public school somewhere that is enlightened enough to have figured out how to not burden their teachers, their students, or their community with grading. If anyone has more info, I would love to hear.
BTW, I was thinking about reading this to my students, but I’m not sure I want to go there. Any brave souls out there that gave it a whirl?
