[quote=Anonymous][quote]That's what has happened to us in our expeditionary school. Even in science, the teacher gives really complicated and rather long texts to introduce a new concept. Students read them independently or in small groups, have to analyze everything, make sense of all the difficult words and then try to apply the new theory to a complicated project. In English/social studies one single expedition is to be executed over months. [b]How many pre-teens have the planning skills and concentration to work on such complicated and long term projects with minimal help from teachers? [/b]Precious time is being wasted, and children are getting frustrated and thinking middle school work is tedious and utterly boring.[/quote] Perhaps MS is a good place for students to start learning those skills, since it will be assumed they have them in HS, in college, and in life.[/quote]
