[quote=Anonymous]First year teachers often experience these issues. Unless things have changed, university teaching prpgrams do not teach classroom management skills or how to teach. That comes from student teaching. They do teach lesson planning, but it is based off unrealistic ideals not real students. Universities teach theories, whatever the latest teaching craze happens to be. When I wen through university, it was "whole language" and letting kids spell however they felt. The running theory of that time was that teaching kids to spell correctly or how to follow grammar rules inhibited their ability to write, so they should be allowed to write however they felt, and that magically, somehow, they would figure out correct grammar and how to spell on thier own somewhere between kindergarten and graduation. This was at the dawn of computers (early 90s) and before widespread spell check. [/quote]
