[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm the PP you are responding to -- I have taught elementary school for 17 years. This is my 18th year.

I do not need to rewrite all my lesson plans every year. Just as doctors do not need to alter treatment plans for every single patient. Yes, patients have different illnesses, but for the most part treatment for the same illness is routine. You may tweak a little here and there but... there are only so many symptoms, so many illnesses, and so many methods of treatment.

You must teach in a very homogenous situation if all you have to do is "tweak".

Do you expect a doctor to completely rewrite treatment plans for every patient who tests positive for the flu?  There are a limited number of symptoms:   fever, chills, aches, vomiting.... and a limited number of likely treatment plans.   Sure, the first patient might get a different treatment plan from the second, and maybe the third, but after that there's going to be a pattern of likely symptoms and likely treatment plans.   The doctor doesn't need to completely rewrite the book for the 16th flu patient she sees.[/quote]
