[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But a teacher can have 25 kids in elementary school!

Your idea is the teacher teaches math for three hours to a whole group on Monday Of the first week, language arts to the whole group on Tuesday of the first week at Cetera. And then the second week the teacher gives one to one tutorial for an hour to each student. So the second week she’s busy doing one to ones all week six per day times four days gets you to 24 hours for 25 students. So that second week what are all the students doing well they’re not getting their one hour of instruction that week?[/quote]

Lessons should be recorded and asynchronous. Then the teacher spends all day teaching small groups. [/quote]

Well, that is a very sensible plan.  As a teacher, I'd be behind this idea.  However, if a teacher is teaching a small group of students every hour, say -- what are the rest of the kids doing during that time?

No one is supervising their instruction since the teacher is working with a small group.  In a classroom setting, the teach assigns "seatwork" or "center activity" to keep the kids productively occupied during their non small group instruction.

And we have been told that parents want their kids to have a robust day of learning -- basically they open their chromebooks up at 8:15 and they are engaged with work and occupied for at least 3 hours.[/quote]
