The Benefits and Considerations of Cold Calling in the Classroom
The speaker questions the true purpose of education and the emphasis on specific learning outcomes. They highlight the potential harm in making decisions based on what privileged students can overcome, rather than focusing on the needs of all students. They also mention their skepticism towards the benefits of cold calling in the classroom, but express openness to hearing opposing evidence. The key to cold calling, according to the speaker, is that it forces every student to actively engage and think.
