[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]'NP here. Exactly— he had a real question & felt he couldn’t ask the teacher for help. My kid has a teacher who does this, and I think it’s lazy teaching at some point. Sure, there are things kids could legitimately ask a peer, but kids shouldn’t be relying on peers to teach them how to do the schoolwork. That is ridiculous. Also, my kid has gotten frustrated when the teacher won’t answer a question that clearly none of the kids can answer. It’s the teacher’s job to address kids’ legitimate questions."

I think it’s brilliant. Teacher needs to teach and kid learns that when you don’t listen you have to figure it out on your own. If you don’t, the teacher will attend to you after she finishes with the kids who are where they are supposed to be and doing what they are supposed to be doing. Those kids don’t get short changed because of another kid’s misbehavior. And the misbehaving kid gets what he needs, just not on his timeframe. Hopefully lesson learned. Pay attention when the teacher tells you to listen. [/quote]

It teaches kids to use their own resources to figure out what they need to do. We don’t need more of the learned helplessness crap.[/quote]
