FR (Frank Retes) and the socratic method

bluerosy Jan 13, 2015 05:41 PM

Now that the troublemakers moved on I think it is safe to say that FR always had their best interest in mind I keeping their snakes. Though they did not like it or understand him because they wanted direct answers. IT'S LONG BEEN PROVEN THAT WHEN TASKED WITH FINDING THE SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM, PEOPLE LEARN AND RETAIN THE INFORMATION BETTER IF THEY FIND IT THEMSELVES, RATHER THAN JUST BEING HANDED THE ANSWER.

FR,
I think you did a great job even though the opposition didn't care for it they actually learned from it and you even though they will never admit it.. But the fact is, after all these years, they are all already doing things different. You are still changing herpetoculture and herpetoculturists ways of keeping their snakes in a better way.

My hats off to you!

Thanks Bluerosy, I report things based on results. Once its reported, the game is over. They can't get it out of their heads. If they choose to not progress, its their problem. I fully understand that sounds blunt. In all reality this is not grade school.
Besides, the fun of this hobby is thinking. So I only attempt to make folks think. It appears that is painful to some. hahahahahahahaha
I do think our understanding of reptiles is about to radically change. So hang on, its coming.

By the way, How have you been? I hope all is well with you and your animals. Best wishes
