Education as Pretense: Schooly "Speeches" versus Real "Talks" | Beyond School - 0 views

To me it really brought home how artificial speeches about canned subjects in front of a class are little to no preparation about talking to people naturally in a real-world setting. It’s like the students are only good at “pretend speaking”
...

Cancel
(These types of schooly speeches also unconsciously perpetuate the teacher-centered model of 20th century classrooms, with students being trained to carry that largely stultifying ritual into the future.) 
...

Cancel
Ours is a century of sharing ideas, and sharing the stage, with the audience. (I’ll resist the Speech 2.0 label.)

Are there any alternative school competitions that reward not “competitive speechifying” a la Speech and Debate, but instead cooperative negotiation and conflict resolution - both sides being rewarded for listening, conceding points, offering compromises? Both teams winning, else no winner at all?

But here’s the thing

Speech is a competitive tool that has nothing to do with listening. Rhetoric is more important than invention. It’s not okay to just talk to us about what moves you.

anonymous on 27 Apr 08

This post is for any student who, like Ali in the epigraph above, has a low GPA (and thus a low self-image), but a brilliant mind. It's also for teachers of those students who wish they could do their part to make that GPA more accurately reflect that student's abilities. Listen, in this YouTube interview from 1971, to this "sub-par" English student's brilliance with language*, and laugh at the limitations of assessing writing and spelling to measure verbal intelligence:

Teens write a lot, but they do not think of their emails, instant and text messages as writing. This disconnect matters because teens believe good writing is an essential skill for success and that more writing instruction at school would help them.
