Fish reaction

I think what lies at the root of the problem Fish is having deals with the fact that teachers, for the most part, have the attitude and thought process that it is okay to teach how they themselves were taught. Teachers think they know a lot, because they have had so much education, in the past. Well, teaching isn't about what is past, it's about what is to come. Teaching and learning go hand in hand; Things that one has learned in the past only is useful when applying this knowledge to learning more and adapting. Experience equals learning and everyday experience is always changing and creating avenues to learning, these avenues have to be facilitated and maintained. As far as teaching educators is concerned, there must be a mandatory teachers' network in which all teachers are required to participate or contribute, whatever it may be. The ways in which we think about things and the world have changed and are changing every day, it makes sense that learning would and should follow along with these changes.
