[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So she prefers to self teach a topic before it is covered in class?[/quote]

When a concept is introduced on a Monday and test is Friday yes.[/quote]

No, that's strange.  Maybe she should focus on this week instead of next week, if the problem is her test scores.  [/quote]

That's stupid.  It's common advice to preview the material so that you can get more out of the class lectures/exercises.  And if it takes you longer to digest and master the concepts, reading ahead also helps.  [/quote]

No wonder we have such low expectations of teachers when students teach themselves everything beforehand.

If ditching textbooks curbs this, I am in favor of no textbooks.[/quote]

Well, what about reviewing material after the class?  You never had the experience of taking notes in class and then feeling like you'd missed something when it came time to complete an assignment.  The notion that teachers can present material once and everyone can then just carry on with notes is ludicrous.  Some people benefit from a second, possibly slightly different presentation.  Sometimes teachers teach something incorrectly.  Last year my DC had a sub on the day that conditional probability was presented and the notes he took down were pure gibberish and the sample problems were incorrect.[/quote]
