[quote=Anonymous]He's in 6th grade now, after being in 2 DCPS schools in one year. By direct teaching, I mean direct instruction where the teacher is involved personally with each student and each small group rather than lecturing for 2-3 minutes to the whole class before putting students in groups for the rest of the period where 1 student does the work and the others copy. I am for cooperative learning and exploration if it's indeed guided by the teacher, and not only during open houses only. I went to several middle schools and did not see any real interaction between the teacher and the students. It seems the teacher supplies the work and a grading rubric and the students work independently or teach each other. This invironment is condusive only to the self starterer kids who are completely independent and need minimal or no guidance. [/quote]
