[quote=Anonymous]Often a good progressive classroom (modern, I don’t know about 100 year old) has invisible structure. The invisible structures offer routines, discussed rules, and boundaries. Understanding those allows students to develop independence and use their curiosity to find answers. Not all teachers understand how to put those invisible structures in place. It can vary within a school too. By invisible structures, I don’t mean students have to infer them, I mean it looks like students are functioning completely independently, when they’ve already internalized the structures. Yes, reminders are part of it. They are allowed to be the age they are.mediocre teachers try to make them older than they are. It’s not a great environment for a kid whose behavioral issues constantly interfere with their own or others’ work. If they need constant one-on-one teacher support to function, it’s not going to work. If they drift, and can respond to reminders, it can work.[/quote]
