[quote=Anonymous]Not the PP but I would reiterate the PP's point that Common Core *DOES NOT* require teachers to spend any inordinate or unusual amount of time on explaining things - but that said I would suggest that explaining is indeed vital, particularly when students are having difficulty with certain concepts or are asking a lot of questions.  I've also witnessed teachers who WOULDN'T explain things when explanations were clearly needed by students - and that is extremely problematic.

I do in fact have my own DC in a school which is teaching Common Core, and NO they do not stop and explain every last iota of everything, in fact I wish they did spend a little more time on some of the math proofs and other things here and there.

And I would argue that it *IS* important to periodically have students explain their answers, to assess how well they know the critical concepts and facts, and to see how well they are doing with their thought process, critical thinking skills and approach to problem solving.

I think it's far more problematic to just gloss over all those things and not do them than it is to do them.[/quote]
