Everything that makes me eager to talk in class:
- Caring about the subject being discussed in class
- If it’s a class that encourages speaking up
- If I know I’m succeeding in class
Everything that makes me reticent to talk in class:
- If it’s a class where most people do not speak up
- If the professor is harsh on opposing opinions
- The point Johnson is trying to get his readers to accept is schools are not trying to teach children content as much as they are teaching them how to learn and process things for life
- His reasoning is when kids leave classes 99% will never use the class material ever again
- He gives his reasoning with a chess example, and uses scenarios for his point
- I find his argument convincing because myself I have not used most of the things I went to class for but now I understand how to learn things
