[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle school teacher here. I don't have time for that in a 45 minute class. There's just not.

I have my students sit down right away and start work. I do not let them come up to me in the beginning because they want to tell me a million things and ask questions. I have reminders posted on the board, and go over a few things verbally, which usually addresses most questions.

It may seem harsh but it is overwhelming when many students have different wants / needs / questions / concerns and your time is very limited. I understand where she is coming from. If they're not Learning about rocks right now; it just doesn't make sense. It brings the kids on a big tangent which is very hard to bring them back from and have them re focus.

Also, I don't want other students to think any day and be show and tell. Not when my class periods are 45 minutes long. [/quote]

This is Kindergarten. Not middle school that OP is talking about.

And aren't most counties block scheduling these days to eliminate the jammed packed 45 min periods?[/quote]
