[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me it's the new instructional model. Some call it project based learning, self-instruction, or flipped classrooms. Whatever they call it, it's the same mush where teachers make believe they are teaching and students make believe they are learning. If teachers aren't going to teach during class time then everyone should stay home. If teachers don't teach and students are expected to learn on their own or in groups doing endless projects why force the kids to attend classes whatsoever?

Why not give students the projects and let them go to the library or go home to work on the projects. Nothing is being taught or learned in classes anymore. The student spend their days in school twiddling their thumbs and are then expected to stay up until 2 AM every night learning what they should have learned in the classroom.

When teacher start doing more than just showing up for work every day, I'll start respecting them again. [/quote]

Yes, because teachers have total control over this.[/quote]
