boot up, Bitch

That reply is unexpectedly inspirational.

Just a friendly reminder that I believe in you. Whatever you’re going through today, know that it may be hard and it may be daunting, but you are strong and beautiful and you will get through this.

Also a friendly reminder that this is a good time of year to get good winter boots if you don’t have them or need new ones.

Listening to a podcast discussing conspiracy theories and deconstructing the ideas behind them and it’s reminded me of the coolest practical lessons in critical thinking I ever got, both in high school, both from the same teacher. One was a month long project on who killed jfk in which we could basically present any theory as long as we cited all our reasons and it got us really excited about research and interpretation, but it was the follow up that I liked best.

Our next project she brought us into class and showed us a documentary claiming the moon landing was faked. Gave us worksheets to do that sided with that stance. And at the end of class a bunch of us were like miss wait this doesn’t seem right?? and she said okay, we’ll discuss that next week. The next lesson, she showed us a mythbusters episode countering all the claims of the original documentary and gave us worksheets for that, and another bunch of people went wait miss you can’t teach us two opposing things, which one is right? What do we put on the exam??

So she split the class in two and told us each to present a case based on each side, and to explain why our source was or wasn’t the more reliable of the two. Got us to debate each other directly and use additional sources to back us up and explain why those sources were reliable and should be believed. And because they were randomly assigned there was no guarantee you’d agree with the stance you were presenting, but you had to present it like you did. At the end of the project she asked us all which stance we found more convincing and why, and the majority of us basically said “we think that the moon landing is real because most of the arguments against it seem like someone reacted to a confusing thing without testing it, but when you test it and ask the person running the test to explain the science it makes sense once you have more information. Also, one documentary was made with the help of scientists with qualifications and experience and the other was made by people who don’t have that but like to write mystery books, which looks like a less reliable way to get an answer. But we still dont understand why you showed us both if one is wrong.”

And she was like excellent. You’ve done exactly what you should do. At high school level, we as teachers are expected to filter for the reliable sources for you, so you know to repeat that to pass an exam, but if you want to be historians on your own, I won’t be your teacher any more once you graduate. Lots of people have opinions and theories and research about times in history, and it’s your job to learn how to look at them and decide who you want to trust. This won’t be on the exam, but I need you all to know it. You all did a great job following the school’s instructions to repeat information you were given, but for some of you, that information wasn’t on a reliable foundation. I know you all know how to pass an exam. You’re smart and you’ve been trained to follow these instructions. What you deserve to be taught is how to use all this once you don’t have to do exams any more.

And then as a reward for us doing a good job at figuring out the value of checking your sources’ sources she let us watch Bush get hit in the face with a shoe before we had to go to maths. Shoutout to you Ms Hannah you were a good'un I hope you’re doing well ten years on from that class
