[quote=Anonymous]Teaching has changed on all levels, from elementary school to university teaching. Teachers have significantly less autonomy today to make decisions about what goes on in the classroom. THey also have much less room to engage in teaching experiments (ie. "I wonder if the students might learn more about the Constitution by having a debate than by filling in a worksheet.") THis is because of standardization, pacing guides, etc. Teachers often will say that it's more of an art than a science, but current guidelines implemented on school, district, state and national levels have robbed teachers of the ability to practice their art, and instead overfocus on the science. Also, class sizes are too large. There are lots of things that are fun to do with 21 students but that are impossible to do with 35.[/quote]
