[quote=Anonymous] Well, some teachers "create" material, many of them go to teacher resource stores, buy a bunch of workbooks and photocopy them. Different schools or different teachers do things differently, pass the work to kids and then act like "facilitators" which in most cases translates into students helping each other. With the most dedicated teachers, it probably works. But for the rest, it has become somewhat of a lackluster or even a mediocre teaching environment. The schools which are doing best are the ones that use the textbooks regularly and suppliment and enrich with photocopied or teacher made worksheets. The DC-CAS is a joke. At my child's grade level last year 57% was proficient and 69% advanced. So an "F" is proficient and a high "D" is advanced. So unless kids score high advanced (85% or more) they have not really mastered grade level expectations. [/quote]
