It's Not About the Boards (Abandoned draft)
Have you seen this social media activity of "badly explaining movies?"

Back when I used social media, I loved these and I read a million of them. Most of them weren't very good, but I was willing to sift through a lot of trash for the rare treasure of a perfect bad summary.
The best ones, I found, shared a common format - they fixated on one small detail from the movie, twisted it into something familiar, and made it sound like the entire movie was about that.
If "badly explaining an instructional philosophy" were a thing, I think we've all seen some version of the Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics entry:
"That's the one where the kids work at the boards, right?"
*Sigh.*
No.
I mean, yes, it is.
But no.
It's not about the boards.
