[quote=Anonymous][quote]Well, WAY back in the day, each school district had its own standards. In fact, when I was growing up (in the 70s) I'm pretty sure there weren't any standards set in my school -- teachers just decided what they wanted to teach, basically )they were given textbooks). Some teachers went faster and covered the whole book, others took side trips because they were interested in Science or really loved poetry. One teacher loved to put on plays so all year long we just did a bunch of plays. The experience from teacher to teacher was very different, depending on who you happened to get. [/quote] As long as children are different, teachers will have to teach differently. I taught a long time. Some years you could fly through a lesson. Another year, you might have to teach it many times in many different ways for the kids to "get" it.[/quote]
