[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers who don't want to teach should quit. Bitter, burnt-out teachers are terrible for children, both academically and emotionally. I'd rather have fewer good teachers than have my child stuck with a dud.

Your kid won’t HAVE a teacher, fool, or they’ll be in a “class” of 60 kids.

You people don’t live in reality.[/quote]

That's better than a bad teacher.  It really is.[/quote]

Every teacher becomes a "bad" teacher under these conditions.[/quote]

It will put the kibosh on 90 minutes of small group instruction + centers/stations.  That's not necessarily a bad thing, for the teacher or for the students.  [/quote]

That’s what I’ve done for the fourth quarter. After three quarters of burning myself out trying to plan, prepare, and implement the workshop model, I’ve stopped. There simply is not enough time to effectively plan and prepare all of it. Managing student behaviors was a nightmare. 30 minutes of my math block is supposed to be stations and small group time. That’s immediately followed by another 20 minutes of a remediation block. [/quote]

[b]The workshop model is one of those things that has been researched to be effective for student learning--and there is reasonably good evidence it does  when implemented correctly under good conditions[/b].  But teachers need time to implement it well, and classroom conditions that are conducive to its success.  That's not where we are at right now.[/quote]

Not really.  Or no better than others teaching methods.  [/quote]
