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

Kids aren't that different. And many of their differences you don't address in a lesson plan anyhow... you address with a behavior plan. [/quote]

Huh?  Are all of the adults you know not that different as well?  [/quote]

NP here. I still don't get it.  I did technical training for years, teaching adults.  I had a workbook with lessons.  I taught the same material to different groups of adults.  Yes, they may have had different abilities, and I had to tweak the plans at times, but generally the same lessons worked over and over and over.  We improved the examples over time, modified things as the software changed, but I never felt like I was starting from scratch, and I don't understand why this is happening year after year in K-12 education.

It doesn't have to.  Some teachers do a whole lot more work than is strictly necessary and believe they are doing what they have to do to be successful or a good teacher.  They often burn out.  The vast majority of all this rewriting of lesson plans is completely unnecessary.[/quote]
