Key Notes
other
Children give Jiang hope, energy, purpose, and a reason to build a teaching legacy even though he describes himself as extremely pessimistic about the world's direction.
normative
The class is framed as giving students possibilities and tools to figure out what happened, not as simply telling them what happened.
model
He says teaching works the same way: he carries a framework, reads student responses, and accesses a higher force to articulate the class differently each time.
diagnosis
Jiang says UCSD-style university bloat is rent-seeking: senior management, deans, administrators, and managers surge while teaching investment falls.
normative
Jiang distinguishes his class from coercive school by saying students can question, reject, and stop paying attention without grade or legal punishment.
model
A loving teacher measures success by whether students and teacher are growing; an unloving teacher measures success by grades, evaluations, parents, money, or status.
method
Jiang says he uses Allen Mandelbaum's translation because it is accessible, and he avoids close reading The Divine Comedy because translated diction cannot bear that kind of word-level analysis.
