Lindemann Chapter 15

This chapter was great.  I do have some questions and comments though. So she says that knowing more about teaching doesn't necessarily make you a more effective teacher.  I really like this because I personally believe in a more "free" thinking environment in the class room. I am not a huge fan of structure because i feel it restricts creativity.  I feel that once we start adding all of this extra knowledge and theory about teaching, the class room becomes too scientific, and that in my opinion makes the teaching effectiveness go down.  Our goal should be to make students intelligent readers which I personally feel means that when working with a text 1 + 1 wont always equal 2. To them, with their reading it could mean red, or any other crazy variation as long as they have an argument to support what they are saying.
