12. Joseph Palermo - Pedagogy of the
Depressed
• Can students really be taught critical thinking,
civics, and citizenship skills in a standardized
format that values conformity?
• Why are the ideals that have long been
associated with public higher education being
scrapped in favor of private special interests that
stand to profit from these changes?
• Most people might want to see a real doctor
instead of going to WebMD

13. Joseph Palermo - Pedagogy of the
Depressed
• Access does not replace dialogue, critical
thinking, and learning
• Collective student activities are part of the
learning process
• Better success with real human interaction

14. The premise of our educational system is
that
seat time
is the critical feature of learning.

15. “People can have the Model-T in any

“… so long as it’s black”
