Quotation Of The Day: Educational Gurus Edition

Richard Feynman takes a look at gurus:

If your guru fails to meet these minimal qualifications, put away your wallet. They're wasting your time:

• Has your guru taught in a real classroom the past three years?
• Does your guru allow his research to be peer reviewed?
• Does your guru grasp statistics?
• Is your guru free from the financial interests of a billionaire?

Bye Wong!
See you later Marzano!
Hasta la vista Duncan!
Arrivederci, Gardner!

If we're even going to pretend we're a profession, we need to stop buying snake oil.
