I’m a high school teacher have been talking to my district about this for months now I’m glad to have this vindication. my district is sort of blindly going into a computer for every single kid and trying to have them do all their work on computers only and it just seems like it’s such a wrong direction to go in.

Comment on Learning by osmosis isn’t a thing. by Skylar Anderson

Avery, great comment. We’d definitely agree that you can learn by immersing yourself in a foreign country. Possibly the only difference we’d have is that we’d call that ‘learning by immersion’ rather than ‘learning by osmosis.’ We’re basically just pointing out that learning effectively requires engagement and active involvement. I think attempting to learn a language in a foreign context is a great example of active learning. It’s definitely work, and we’d say that if you can speak another language, you’ve definitely produced something. Is that helpful at all?

“Learning by “osmosis” isn’t work; work involves creating something.”
What about learning a new language by spending enough time in a foreign country?
If work is performed in this process, what is created?

I have and always am dealing with this issue. It’s no joke. It’s not just the run of the mill procrastination. Where I miss a deadline or two. I have life altering procrastination. I could easily double my income, all from home, if I just applied myself. The problem is, that I never do it for me. I’d do it for a “boss” or something external, but, I won’t do it for me.
