Overcoming a "That's The Way We Have Always Done It" Mindset in Schools | EdNews Daily | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
It is truly astounding how people can embrace doing things the way they have always been done without contemplating where and when the original decisions were made. We just accept a pre-existing mindset because it is the path of least resistance. President Woodrow Wilson said it best, “If you want to make enemies, try to change something.” Humans often prefer to remain mired in the mundane and find comfort in the status quo rather than head towards the undiscovered country on the unknown. This preexisting mindset is often defended or at the very least justified by the excuse of That’s The Way We Have Always Done It, or TTWWADI for short.
