"you didn't want to hear any anecdotal stories to the contrary. Are you being intentionally hypocritical?"

Thimk, dewd.

I didn't say I didn't want to hear them, I said "don't bother." The implication of that is to stipulate that such anecdotes are available and indicate that *some* teachers don't do that. My anecdote counters the assertion that *no* teachers do, also indicating that *some* do.

Perfectly congruent, and not a hypo or a crypt in the lot.

Except that you claimed that "many, many" teachers are pushing evidence, and you offer absolutely nothing substantial as evidence. When pressed for evidence, you present the one thing that you told people not to use as a counter.

Why should your anecdotes be taken as evidence for "many, many" teachers doing something when someone else's anecdotes to the opposite not be considered valid?
