Scot McKnight has an interesting series of posts going on education this past week, all of which I would like to interact with here. \u00a0 Maybe one at a time. \u00a0 Perhaps this will be beneficial to any aspiring teachers who read this blog. \u00a0 I’ll start with today’s – his letter to a new professor<\/a>. \u00a0 I don’t have the experience that he has, but I agree with most of his 20 points.<\/p>\n

It would be shorter to note points of disagreement, so I’ll do that.<\/p>\n

Well, this is hard. \u00a0 The first ten are great! \u00a0 But on #11, I disagree. \u00a0 I don’t think teachers are ready to write a book after only 3-4 years. \u00a0 And the world certainly doesn’t need whatever book they produce. \u00a0 There are exceptions to this rule. \u00a0 These first years are also important for developing in the classroom<\/em>, and I think that a writing project could easily divert one’s attention for building teaching skills, lectures, and yes, even PowerPoint presentations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On #13 second sentence, I could lose some friends for life, so I probably should demur quietly. \u00a0 I just think there are so many problems with professional sports and so many other ways of redeeming the time (and relaxing), that I simply cannot agree.<\/p>\n

#14 sounds kind of strange to me. \u00a0 It’s like he’s talking to an outsider to the church, not a fully engaged member. \u00a0 I think teachers should have a regular role of ministry in their church, and not be waiting around for invitations.<\/p>\n

#18 – at least one!<\/p>\n

Ok, so my comments aren’t so helpful on this one, but if it gets the aspiring teacher to read his, this post is worth it. \u00a0 I’ll have more to disagree with on others, especially his PowerPoint<\/a> and computer<\/a> posts. Ugh!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
