I am a chemist who was looking to get into education around 2017 +/- a bit. I enrolled into a local universities education program, tested almost perfect in my content area, and had the department head and several others excited to bring me into the fold. Two things turned me off. One, and I'm paraphrasing, but sent the biggest red flags ever was something like; an eskimo, an african american, and a white student.... cut. I'm done. The other was in a lecture being told that 'studies show' technology in the classrooms lead to better outcomes, everything's great, etc.. And maybe that's true if you can control for what a student does with 'technology'. But it was a blind acceptance based on perfect educational outcomes with no regard to how that 'technology' could otherwise be used. All my kids have school chromebooks. Most of their time is not spent on school work. Duh.
