That’s because you’re a snowflake. If someone approaches you & you don’t want to engage, be an adult & say so, or do what most people do & fake it. Colored badges ? C’mon


Lol, I'm about the furthest from a snowflake as you can get.

I'm so not a snowflake that I'm the only one in the thread not getting offended over badges at a conference. This "controversy" seems like something snowflakes would get offended over.

You can't learn without discussing opposing views, and you can't function in a competitive or modern society without being able to cope with those who have drastically different viewpoints than you.

So as a person who is focused on education, safe spaces are actually a step back in advancing society.


Sure you can. Its called listening.

No, listening and reading only puts the other side in your perspective. The only way you can really think through the other side is through conversation, debate, or argument. While you are thinking of ways to counter what they are saying you will have to attempt to think of things from their perspective to understand their position so you can calculate how to counter it.

Learning isnt about countering or arguing. Learning isnt adversarial. You are taking a very toxic approach to learning and I genuinely hope you dont try to pass that to your students.

You are very silly if you think this is true. Of course that isn't the only part to learning, but it is definitely what we call a HLTP, or a high leverage teaching practice. Go ahead and spout your bullshit while there's thousands of teachers/professors who are more knowledgeable in this field than you say it is one of the best ways to learn.

Also, you are a snowflake.
