[quote=Anonymous]MS teacher here. I think a lot of this debate comes back to what you believe about your role as a teacher. For me (and many others), that role extends beyond the bell. If a student needs extra help and is willing to stay after school to seek that help, many of us are happy to provide it. The one-on-one or small group time allows opportunities to better get to know our students and build relationships, and it helps build in our students a sense of responsibility and ownership of their learning. IMO, those who seem to see teaching as strictly bell-to-bell and feel the need to consult regulations for something like giving an hour of time once a week to support struggling students really make the rest of us look bad and should re-examine why they're still in this profession.[/quote]
