#2Why does she need to shadow a student to learn what it's like to be a student? Wasn't she a student once herself?
These things are pretty obvious. I always just assumed teachers didn't care.

Are paywalls ok?
It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds. In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so.
Now before you 'noob' me I did put in some effort. The old "google the title and click thru from google" doesn't work. Ghostery isn't helping. Adblock Plus isn't helping. Its a clickbait article and there's nothing wrong with that but it is a relevant issue in that I'm not switching browsers to read it.

#4As a teacher, I was hoping for a little more depth. The observations are reasonable, if a little obvious.
I suppose it's good to remind teachers about things they already know, but are not regularly implementing.

#5Those are some awesome takeaways. I think that by the time you're a teacher, you forget what it's like to be a student. One of my biggest complaints with class is that its entirely passive learning and I am a completely hands on person. Additionally, after reading pedagogy of the oppressed, it's very easy to get bitter with education in general.

The 'web' link is supposed to take you to the "google the title and click through from google" trick.
When I clicked on the link directly I did not get a paywall. FWIW I do not have ABP.

I can't be bothered for anything behind a paywall. Seems like a deathknell for any article you actually want read.

#9The link could be more clickbaity by adding "this": This teacher spends two days as a student and is shocked at what she learns ;)

Because we're old and the slow transition through accumulation of new experience have made us forget what it's like to be on the other side.
