[quote=Anonymous]Centers or stations are a way for kids to be occupied and possibly learning something/practicing a skill while the teacher meets in small groups. When I was in school, we did worksheets at our desk while the teacher met with the students that needed more help. In either way, the focused students will do what they're supposed to do while most of the class just wanders around or stares at the wall. With stations or centers, it will take the teacher several months of training to get the students to get the hang of it and then, while meeting with small groups, the teacher will have to be frequently redirecting the students that are completely off the rails. This new way of teaching seems to put more work on the teacher while overall the students learn less. But that's how they do it now. Occasionally you'll get an old-fashioned teacher who doesn't bother with centers. But that's rare. [/quote]
