I will confess: I taught history (global, American, government). There was so much noise in my classroom that we got complaints. Not rowdy students--a rowdy teacher. I rearranged the desks to drive the point home about the three branches. I wore costumes. Believe me, nobody was bored or fell asleep in my class.
I think the key is to love what you teach. I didn't teach for long, because it takes a lot of energy to bring that level of commitment.
As I said, I love the idea of my country.
One way to make it more interesting for schoolchildren I think would be to have them imagine a life without freedom, where everything they do is tightly regulated by the government
I like that
If you have time, check out my post in the StemSocial community about how blockchain can transform science and tell me what you think of it in a comment. Your science related posts are actually my favorite and I hope you write about something scientific again soon.
I read it last night as I was going to sleep (I read on my iPad). See you over there.
