[quote=Anonymous]As the teacher, I would be more worried about the kid who completed all the tasks but didn’t do well on the tests! Clearly, the system isn’t working for those kids. For your child, OP, he/she has demonstrated that they understand the material if doing well on the tests. Isn’t that was the grades should reflect? Knowledge and understanding of content? This strategy sounds repetitive and heavily focused on process instead of product. Scaffolding is all about the gradual release of support and greater independence in students. I would ask what the B reflects. Plus, study skills look different for everyone. What works for one student might not work for another. Your child might be able to do one day of note taking or determine which 12 terms are important. [/quote]
