[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes - I think many teachers and much of the materials they use teach to the bottom of Bloom's Taxonomy. (remembering, understanding and some applying) There seems to be little evaluating and analysis.[/quote] I find the opposite to be true and I work in a school. The push is for students using higher order thinking skills which is fine if 1) you actually have some more basic skills first and 2) you are mentally capable of it. I am old school about my son's memorizing multiplication facts and thankfully he knows them all. It's sad to see 5th graders skip counting b/c they don't know them.[/quote]
