I’m fed up of people who should know better saying they’re bored with the false dichotomy of skills versus knowledge. The knowledge vs skills debate is always worth having because it conceals a more fundamental disagreement (a real dichotomy, if you will.) about what’s most important. Let’s agree that no one is actually advocating that no knowledge is taught. I’m sure this is true. But saying that knowledge is just a foundation for higher order thinking isn’t good enough.
