[quote=Anonymous]There seems.to a lot of blame on teachers not teaching. What about students not learning? I am a good teacher and go over content in many different ways. I discuss it with notes, have students discuss every few slides with prompted questions so I can check if there are trouble spots and I do an activity that supports the concepts for the day. I teach an AP class and I would say only 20% take notes. Of those that do, it is rarely beyond the printed words on the slides. So, not helpful if they don't have the explanation to go with it when/if they study.

I would love for parents to be a fly on the wall for one day and see how your kid's actually act in school. I don't allow laptops but phone sneaking, sleeping, doing work for other classes is the norm rather than the exception. I call them out on off task behavior but at some point you just need to focus on the kids that actually want to learn. School isn't magic- kids have to put the work in and review every day.[/quote]
