Letterman: 10 Top Things You Don't Learn About Teaching in College

Ohanian Comment:
David Letterman offers 10 Top Things You Don't Learn About Teaching in College at the url below.

My list is a little different:

10. Your state department of education will issue directives in direct opposition to the principles of pedagogy your professors espoused.

9. Corporate-politicos who determine school policy listen to the Business Roundtable, not John Dewey.

8. What Bill Gates and Eli Broad say matters more than anything uttered or written by the combined faculties of all the schools of education in the country.

7. Journalists don't care what you think.

6. Your union won't care what you think--unless and until you make them care.

5. The custodian and the secretary will be important allies.

4. Time spent in the faculty room reduces your life expectancy.

3. If the worst-behaved child in your class moves away, another child will emerge to take his place.

2. You will have to read scripts shipped in from McGraw-Hill.

1. A sense of humor helps but it won't save you.
