    The art of Self Discipline and Avoiding Stupidity

    Blooms Taxonomy

    A pyramid of thinking.

    It is never to early to push high level thinking.

    The enemy of high level thinking is spoon feeding students.

    A lesson should have enough information so students can ask a good question of the internet.

    The information should also start to hint at what is real or reliable information and what is a person version of what they would like to be.

    Stupidity hides in all corners, to see if you have learnt stupid things a student must know how to research from reliable sources as stupid people don't know they are stupid but often speak the loudest and with conviction.
