I absolutely think that there is a better way to educate than tests and textbooks...however I'm certain we haven't found the perfect formula, and videos and chromebooks significantly worse. Different is not better.
absolutely think that there is a better way to educate than tests and textbooks
Genuine question: why? Specifically, why with textbooks?
Even if textbooks are suboptimal, they’re the way a lot of human information is organized. Just developing the skill of being able to work through a textbook is probably massively productive.
I picked "tests and textbooks" mostly due to the alliteration, and the association with traditional education methods.
The comment was also a bit facecios. I'd be surprised if we have arrived at the absolute best way to do anything - so of course there will be some better way to educate.
