Most promising, TEAC's heavy emphasis on the obligation of teacher - education programs to produce
convincing evidence in support of the claims they make about their own quality has the potential to enhance accountability in teacher education.
Personally, I find it rather ironic that you're lecturing the blog author on the rigor
of language, when, faced with the need to
support the
claims made by a documentary that has faced absolutely no real standards
of intellectual rigor or merit (the kind
of evidence you apparently find
convincing), you have so far managed to produce a study with a sample size too small to conclude anything, a review paper that basically summarized well known connections between vaginal and amniotic flora and poor outcomes
in labor and birth before attempting to rescue what would have been just another OB review article with a few attention grabbing sentences about long term health implications, and a review article published
in a trash journal.
While members
of the HF have many times called me a liar they have very rarely made any specific
claims that something I wrote was wrong, and have never supplied
convincing evidence in support of such
claims.
