Adam Kirk Edgerton: Why I Quit Teaching
“If we continue to treat our teachers like children, what will become of our children?”

-
Both the older set of digital natives and the generation above us assume that the Internet is a bubble – a space with limits
-
Rage-baiting is commonplace and infuriatingly successful, so the most prevalent language of the Internet is at its best cynicism and its worst outright meanness
-
