[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my kid's K, kids keep interrupting the teacher to read the words on the screen when she's busy having them repeat rhymes ("don't worry about reading the words, i'll tell you what they say" "they say X, Y, Z" "ooh, if it started with a M then it would still rhyme and say whatever" "no, no, just repeat the rhymes i'm telling you") or to explain that the shaded 2 balls out of 5 balls don't just show that the "secret parts" of 5 are 2 and 3, but also is showing 2/5ths of the balls. It's very frustrating to watch as a parent, because the teachers responses are so rote and the kids so clearly want to actually learn and she's killing that spark. Also, it shows it's not so much differentiation as no one in the class needs to learn how to count to 5 again...[/quote] Scripted curriculum. That's what happens when you have administrators who insist that teachers just stick to the script. [/quote]
