[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public Schools need more teachers like this who [b]actually think critically[/b] about the programs they are implementing. http://www.creativityinthemodernclassroom.com/2016/01/why-daily-5-is-not-effective-in-my-classroom/[/quote]

In most public school districts, teachers are not hired to "think critically." They are hired to implement what their admin tells them to implement. The boss of their admin told them to implement it so that's what is done. It doesn't matter that teachers who are actually in the classroom know it doesn't work. This is what teachers deal with all of the time. Should I just nod and smile during the meetings and then close my classroom door and do what I know is best for my students? [/quote]

If teachers were told everything they had to do, this thread wouldn't have been started. There are ways to both use a system and not use a system. Either schools systems are for Daily 5 with whatever book a student is interested in be it comics or Lord of the Rings is appropriate for upper elementary kids who already can read well three days a week or they aren't. Meanwhile private schools make sure they know what books kids are reading and what they are doing with those books.[/quote]
