[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone ever worry about this? Teachers using excessive amounts of YouTube videos, computer games, technology to teach rather than actually directly teaching?  [/quote]

Using technology to teach in 2022 - imagine that![/quote]

I know, right? So WEIRD, as the parents post endless complaints about it from their phones, tablets and work PCs.[/quote]

As a parent, I have my education.  Funny thing, I expect teachers to teach.  Otherwise, what's the point of school and we can just give them videos all day at home.[/quote]

Well it's not that simple. Sometimes teachers are teaching one small group but need to occupy others with meaningful work. Video are just one of the tools at their disposal and there are many that are engaging and educational![/quote]

Yeah, we know all about this.

If you kid is in a reading/math group that is at or above grade level, that group will not meet as often.  The teacher needs to get the kids who are below grade level up to speed.  So your ES kid will spend even more time on his/her Chromebook.

That’s how it was until we finally got to the CES.

It’s just terrible.  [/quote]
