[quote=Anonymous]It was an analogy. An analogy won't show two things are exactly the same. But comparing the work of a teach to the work of a doctor is useful in some cases. Here's a recent EdWeek article making the same analogy (to a different purpose, in this case talking about differentiation): http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2015/01/07/differentiation-doesnt-work.html?cmp=SOC-EDIT-FB [quote] Do we expect an oncologist to be able to treat glaucoma? Do we expect a criminal prosecutor to be able to decipher patent law? Do we expect a concert pianist to be able to play the clarinet equally well? No, no, no. However, when the education of our nation's young people is at stake, we toss together into one classroom every possible learning strength and disability and expect a single teacher to be able to work academic miracles with every kid … as long as said teacher is willing to differentiate, of course.[/quote][/quote]
