I think this has much to do with your experiences in life, as a learner, your learning/teaching style, and your personal philosophy. Although I am an older "newer" teacher, I hold more progressive views than my team partner, who is 20 years my junior and holds more traditional views. 
   
  I tend to listen to everything with an open mind and ask lots of questions, then after mulling it around for awhile and trying new things, I make my decision. She's not  interested in anything different, or what she calls "kumbayah teaching." I escaped a very coercive school climate early on, my team partner worked under these conditions for 5 years. Maybe that has something to do with our different outlooks, because we both graduated from college the same year. 
   
  Anyway, I think making assumptions about anyone is wrong, and only serves to divide. I like to think that I can learn from others, and maybe they can learn from me.

  How children learn is as important as what they learn: process and content go hand in hand. http://www.responsiveclassroom.org
