In this episode Femi and Matt discuss Robert Pondiscio's AEI Op-Ed titled 'Confronting 5 Damaging Educational Myths'.  The discussion elicits some interesting and useful points with the following 6 myths coming under fire from the duo:
“I don’t teach facts. I teach critical thinking.”
“Reading is a skill.”
“This is too hard/inappropriate/irrelevant for my students.”
“Children have different learning styles.” 
“Teach kids to think like a scientist” (or a historian or other expert)
“Who needs rote learning? You can just Google facts.”
