By the mid-20th century, _gay_ was well established in reference to hedonistic
and uninhibited lifestyles  [11]  and its antonym _straight_ , which had long
had connotations of seriousness, respectability, and conventionality, had now
acquired specific connotations of heterosexuality.  [21]  In the case of _gay_
, other connotations of frivolousness and showiness in dress ("gay apparel")
led to association with  camp  "Camp \(style\)") and 
effeminacy  . This association no doubt helped
the gradual narrowing in scope of the term towards its current dominant
meaning, which was at first confined to subcultures. _Gay_ was the preferred
term since other terms, such as _ queer  _ , were felt
to be derogatory.  [22]  _ Homosexual  _ is
perceived as excessively clinical,  [23]  [24]  [25]  since the sexual
orientation now commonly referred to as "homosexuality" was at that time a 
mental illness   diagnosis
 in the  Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders  (DSM).

When used with a derisive attitude (e.g., "that was so gay"), the word _gay_
is  pejorative  . Though retaining other
meanings, its use among young people as a term of  disparagement
 is common; 97 percent of American LGBTQ middle and
high school students reported hearing its negative use as of 2021.  [7]  [39]

The term _gay_ can also be used as an adjective to describe things related to
homosexual men, or things which are part of  the said culture
 . For example, the term "gay bar" describes the bar
which either caters primarily to a homosexual male clientele or is otherwise
part of homosexual male culture.

A passage from  Gertrude Stein  's
_Miss Furr & Miss Skeene _ (1922) is possibly the first traceable published
use of the word to refer to a homosexual relationship. According to Linda
Wagner-Martin ( _Favored Strangers: Gertrude Stein and her Family_ , 1995) the
portrait "featured the sly repetition of the word gay, used with sexual intent
for one of the first times in linguistic history", and  Edmund Wilson
 (1951, quoted by  James Mellow
 in _Charmed Circle_ , 1974) agreed.
[18]  For example:
*  1920s neologisms 
*  LGBT terminology 
*  Homosexuality 
*  English words
There are those who reject the gay label for reasons other than shame or
negative connotations. Writer  Alan Bennett  [35]  and fashion icon  André Leon Talley
 [36]  are out and open 
queer  men who reject being labeled gay, believing the
gay label confines them.

Similarly, a _gay cat_ was a young male apprenticed to an older  hobo
 and commonly exchanging sex and other services for
protection and tutelage.  [2]  The application to homosexuality was also an
extension of the word's sexualized connotation of "carefree and uninhibited",
which implied a willingness to disregard conventional or respectable  sexual
mores  . Such usage, documented as early
as the 1920s, was likely present before the 20th century,  [2]  although it
was initially more commonly used to imply heterosexually unconstrained
lifestyles, as in the once-common phrase "  gay Lothario  ",  [15]  or in the title of the book and film  _The Gay Falcon_
 "The Falcon \(literary character\)")
(1941), which concerns a womanizing detective whose first name is "Gay".
Similarly,  Fred Gilbert  and  G. H.
MacDermott  's  music hall
 song of the 1880s, "Charlie Dilke Upset the
Milk" – "Master Dilke upset the milk, when taking it home to Chelsea; the
papers say that Charlie's gay, rather a wilful wag!" – referred to Sir 
Charles Dilke  's alleged heterosexual
impropriety.  [16]  Giving testimony in court in 1889, the prostitute  John
Saul  "John Saul \(prostitute\)") stated: "I
occasionally do odd-jobs for different gay people."  [17]

The 1960s marked the transition in the predominant meaning of the word _gay_
from that of "carefree" to the current "homosexual". In the British comedy-
drama film _ Light Up the Sky!  "Light Up
the Sky! \(film\)") _ (1960), directed by  Lewis Gilbert
 , about the antics of a British Army
searchlight squad during World War II, there is a scene in the mess hut where
the character played by  Benny Hill  proposes
an after-dinner toast. He begins, "I'd like to propose..." at which point a
fellow diner interjects "Who to?", implying a proposal of marriage. The Benny
Hill character responds, "Not to you for start, you ain't my type". He then
adds in mock doubt, "Oh, I don't know, you're rather gay on the quiet."
1.2 million. That’s how many same-sex couple households there were in the U.S.
in 2021,  according  to the U.S. Census Bureau. Previous census
research  suggests  around 15% of same-sex couples
have children in their household, a much lower proportion than heterosexual
couples (around 40%), and are four times more likely than opposite-sex couples
to have adopted children or stepchildren. Same-sex couples are also more
likely to have smaller families.

Violence against LGBT people  |
The word may have started to acquire associations of  immorality
 as early as the 14th century, but had
certainly acquired them by the 17th.  [2]  By the late 17th century, it had
acquired the specific meaning of "addicted to pleasures and dissipations",
[11]  an extension of its primary meaning of "carefree" implying "uninhibited
by moral constraints". A _gay woman_ was a  prostitute  , a _gay man_ a  womanizer  , and a _gay house_ a  brothel  .
[12]  [2]  An example is a letter read to a London court in 1885 during the
prosecution of brothel madam and procuress  Mary Jeffries
 that had been written
by a girl while enslaved inside of a French brothel:

While scant usage referring to  male homosexuality 
dates to the late 19th century, that meaning became increasingly common by the
mid-20th century.  [2]  In modern  English  , _gay_ has come to be used as an  adjective  , and as a  noun  , referring to the  community
 ,  practices
 and  cultures
 associated with homosexuality. In the
1960s, _gay_ became the word favored by  homosexual men
 to describe their  sexual
orientation  .  [3]  By the
end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century, the word _gay_ was
recommended by major  LGBT  groups and  style guides
 to describe people attracted to members of
the same sex,  [4]  [5]  although it is more commonly used to refer
specifically to men.  [6]

The number of children in families with gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer or
transgender parents has been rising in recent years. Partly, this is due to
the increasing legal protections and social acceptance afforded to members of
these communities, such as the right to same-sex marriage in the U.S. The
subject of parenting was a prominent and divisive point when considering
rights like marriage, and remains so today. Many same-sex, transgender and
other minority couples still  face
  barriers
 to becoming parents their
straight peers do not, and in many countries it is still illegal for same-sex
couples to adopt. Legal rights are also subject to withdrawal, as demonstrated
by the U.S. Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v Wade last year, which has
activists  worried  the constitutional right to same-
sex marriage could be overturned next using similar legal logic. Republican
legislators have  filed  hundreds of laws over the past year
targeting members of the LGBT+ community, particularly the trans community,
which could restrict access to gender affirming medical  care
 and remove trans kids from
parents’ custody.
This pejorative usage has its origins in the late 1970s, with the word gaining
a pejorative sense by association with the previous meaning: homosexuality was
seen as inferior or undesirable.  [41]  Beginning in the 1980s, and especially
in the late 1990s, the usage as a generic insult became common among young
people.  [7]  Use of "gay" in some circumstances continues to be considered a
pejorative in present day. As recently as 2023, the American Psychological
Association described language like "that's so gay" as  heterosexist
 and  heteronormative
 .  [42]
In June 1967, the headline of the review of the Beatles' _ Sgt. Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band  _ album in the British daily newspaper _
The Times  _ stated, "The Beatles revive hopes
of progress in pop music with their gay new LP".  [29]  The same year,  The
Kinks  recorded "  David Watts
 "David Watts \(song\)") ", which is about a
schoolmate of Ray Davies, but is named after a homosexual concert promoter
they knew, with the ambiguous line "he is so gay and fancy-free" attesting to
the word's double meaning at that time.  [30]  As late as 1970, the first
episode of _ The Mary Tyler Moore Show  _ has the demonstrably straight  Mary Richards
 ' neighbor Phyllis breezily declaiming
that Mary is still "young and gay", but in an episode about two years later,
Phyllis is told that her brother is "gay", which is immediately understood to
mean that he is homosexual.

Origin  

The term **tacit knowing** is attributed to  Michael Polanyi
 's _Personal Knowledge_ (1958).
[2]  In his later work, _The Tacit Dimension_ (1966), Polanyi made the
assertion that "we can know more than we can tell."  [3]  He states not only
that there is knowledge that cannot be adequately articulated by  verbal
 means, but also that all
knowledge is rooted in tacit knowledge. While this concept made most of its
impact on  philosophy of science  ,  education  and  knowledge management  —all fields involving humans—it was also, for Polanyi, a means to
show humankind's evolutionary continuity with animals. Polanyi describes that
many animals are creative, some even have  mental representations
 , but can only possess
tacit knowledge.  [4]  This excludes humans, however, who developed the
capability of articulation and therefore can transmit partially explicit
knowledge. This relatively modest difference then turns into a big practical
advantage, but there is no unexplained evolutionary gap.

##  Rote Learning Vs Critical Thinking
We'll get you the right resource
Professional Learning Communities
##  Â
For example, medical professionals may benefit from rote learning when
memorizing drug dosages or the symptoms of particular diseases. Additionally,
 adults learning  a new language may find rote learning helpful for memorizing
vocabulary and grammatical rules.
This method has been used for centuries in education and has been a common
practice in many cultures. There are various techniques and strategies that
can be employed to enhance the effectiveness of rote learning, and
understanding these methods can be beneficial in  educational settings
 .
Rote learning is commonly used to remember facts, formulas, and other
important details, but it is often criticized for not promoting  deeper
comprehension  or
critical thinking skills. In this article, we will explore the concept of rote
learning, its potential benefits and drawbacks, and alternative learning
strategies that may be more effective in the long run.
Overall, while rote learning can aid in memorization and initial language
acquisition, it is essential to supplement this method with other approaches
to ensure a deeper understanding and long-term retention of  language skills
 .

Rote learning is a memorization technique that involves repeating information
over and over until it is  committed to memory  . It is often associated with the
traditional style of education, where students are expected to simply repeat
information without truly understanding it.

###  Spaced Repetition Technique
However, a potential downside of rote learning is the potential for a large
database size, as every piece of information we learn adds to our memory
store. This can result in slower recognition speed and increased difficulty in
 accessing specific information  .

Rote learning in  language acquisition  involves the memorization of
vocabulary and grammar rules through repetition and rehearsal. This method can
be challenging as it requires a significant amount of time and effort to
commit information to memory. The process of rote learning can also be
monotonous and may lead to a lack of meaningful understanding or application
of the language.
####  **Principle 2:** **Prior Knowledge**
However, rote learning can be beneficial in  language acquisition
 as it provides a foundation for language skills and helps learners
to quickly memorize new vocabulary and grammar rules. It also encourages
consistent practice, which can improve fluency and proficiency in a language.

* **Spelling** : Memorizing correct spellings lays the groundwork for effective communication and deeper literacy skills.
* **Historical Dates** : Knowing key dates allows students to place historical events within a broader context.
* **Scientific Terminology** : Familiarity with technical terms is essential for engaging with complex scientific concepts.
* **Geographical Facts** : Countries, capitals, and physical features form the basis for more elaborate geographical studies.
* **Language Vocabulary** : Building a  bank of vocabulary  through rote learning is fundamental for language acquisition.

Rote learning is deeply rooted in  neuroscience  . When we
repeatedly practice a certain activity or information, the connections between
neurons in the brain are strengthened, resulting in more efficient retrieval
of that information.
#  Rote Learning
##  Enhance Learner Outcomes Across Your School
The journey from memorizing facts to applying them in complex ways mirrors the
cognitive development stages outlined in  educational psychology
 . Rote memorization, although sometimes viewed as mechanical, equips
students with the necessary vocabulary and basic concepts that form the
scaffold for critical analysis and synthesis.
Engaging students in critical thinking does not negate the importance of rote
learning; instead, it emphasizes the need for a firm grasp of fundamental
knowledge before one can evaluate, infer, or create anew. This  cognitive
groundwork  is not just a stepping stone but a vital component of the educational
process.
