[quote=Anonymous][quote]Agreed. What we're seeing though is that in our public school [b]things are "available" [/b]but the teacher has to put them all together. Every day. [b]There is no suggested curriculum materials[/b] and no printed materials. So the teacher is spending endless hours at the copier. I just think it makes things easier when there is a standard curriculum and teachers are allowed to choose things that work for them if needed. This way they don't have to make copies unless they want to.[/quote]

How are things "available", yet there is no suggested curriculum materials?  Wouldn't the things that are "available" be the suggested curriculum materials?  This sounds odd.  What school is this?

And I do know that teachers make photocopies because often there are not enough printed books available for each student.  But the teacher is not making the materials, just copying them, right?

I did experience a teacher (with my son) who printed off scads of things that were never used, but just filled up his folder.  It was very confusing.  In this case, I believe the teacher was not competent in her field (she was not certified for the subject she was teaching) so to compensate she copied everything on any given topic so that she was "covered".  It was total overkill and students did not know what to read or do because there was just way too much given out.    [/quote]
