Out of curiosity, (given that in another comment you talked about home schooling) when you call yourself an educator, do you have a teaching certificate in your state, or other professional teaching certification?
I'm not trying to be rude, but since you began by invoking the title of "educator" as an appeal to authority in this area, I think it's important to clarify that you are in fact such.
I'm certified to teach in my jurisdiction. I have a teaching degree, and I have completed additional professional training specific to this topic through conferences, books, and other professional development (PD).
I can't source conference talks or teacher PD groups, so I sourced a popular press book that's approachable to laymen.
Awesome, thank you.
"My jurisdiction" could mean their house and their degree could be from PragerU or some other sham online college. The way everything is worded so vaguely leads me to believe this is the case.
No reason to assume malice just because they're not listing out identifying information. I don't list my schools or company names online either. It's not as though we could (or would) validate it anyways.
