[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So teachers are not supposed to plan lessons anymore?  Wow..things have changed from when I went to school.[/quote]
I can see how some might take this as teachers sounding lazy but there's a difference between planning lessons and generating all the materials in line with a new curriculum.  I saw this in fifth grade last year.  My child's teacher was writing a lot of work sheets and quizzes.  While I applaud the creativity and dedication, there were errors everywhere.  Mostly grammatical, missing articles,  phrasing that wasn't precise enough for math.  This is why textbooks and workbooks exist, the materials are edited and properly worded.  Also the diagrams that went with the problems were poor.  Clip art is not a math diagram.

The materials at the middle school and high school level are even worse.  Some simple things like problems that refer to f(x) accompanied by graphs of F(x).  But enough errors piled on that some problems are truly unreadable.[/quote]
