[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I am no fan of OP's classroom model, my 10th grader who's taking challenge math, science and social studies classes would be thrilled to have a class where he can coast by selecting easy books that he "loves."  He'd have more time to engage in his other classes that require more depth.  He'd be happy to have OP as a teacher. [/quote]

Interesting you think I’m a big enough bozo to be like “sure you can read The Boxcar Children” in 10th grade. Again, there is NO WAY for anyone to glean an entire pedagogy from this one thread. Obviously the kids would have to propose a title, why they selected it, and I would have veto power if it were inappropriate (Twilight, 50 Shades of Gray) or way below grade level or like 50 pages long.

The anti teacher sentiment that is replete across the rest of DCUM makes tons of sense now though. You guys really do think we are idiots! It’s a wonder you send your kids to school at all since you can do it so much better. [/quote]

Well, this thread has increased the likelihood of me homeschooling by several percentage points![/quote]

Hope OP isn’t representative of a new wave of teachers...[/quote]

Yep, one of the newer teachers with all her new age crap.

Don't worry, I am a teacher (I'm 30, so I am still 'young' but have been teaching 9 years).  She sounds like a first through third year teacher, and like she probably is really hated by her whole staff.  She is the type who speaks up and argues at faculty meetings, who defies the curriculum and the parents and admin, and then feels scorned and like she was treated unfairly.  There has been one or two every year.  Don't worry, she'll chill out or quit.[/quote][/quote]
