[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have the same questions, at a public school we are new to, but mostly because I'm hearing about watching multiple episodes of the Berenstain Bears each day (grade 1), in addition to computer games (probably educational, I don't know), books on screen, and videos for "brain breaks." If I were hearing anything related to direct instruction, or seeing some evidence of it, I'd definitely be able to more easily "calm down." My expectations aren't through the roof, but basic instruction definitely makes the ist, so I'm waiting for BTSN, interims, etc., to see what things look like.

Anyway OP, give it some time, at least you are hearing about some learning. If you'd decide to change course, six months or a year in a less-than-ideal situation probably isn't the end or the world. Haha, I hope, anyway, for all of our sakes![/quote]

Same!! I was really sad to hear that the tv board reads them books too. I’d love to get away from computers. I really don’t see a need until 4th or 5th grade. But even then, it’s to research and write reports. Not to learn on computers all day long. [/quote]
