I've never been a fan of Tucker Carlson, and the guys from Flocabulary were probably naive thinking that they'd get a fair shake from the folks at Fox, but I felt the need to post this in defense of teachers everywhere who are using alternatives means to reach their students. It seems if we use traditional methods like lectures we are failing to recognize that brain-based studies reveal that this mode of transmission simply isn't effective. If we think outside of the box and try to be innovative, we are simply dumbing down education. I'm guessing that Mr. Carlson hasn't ever taught a class, and that if he dared, my junior high students would eat his lunch. Now that's something to rap about.
