[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that teachers can not win.  If the teacher spends the entire reading block answering simple questions about a follow up activity or a center, the reading group children will not learn to read. Imagine, for just a second, that you were responsible for 26 six year olds.  The most meaningful part of the reading block is small group instruction at the students level.  The follow ups are important but they are also reviewed the next day with the group.  Now you have 23 other students who ask silly six year old questions about everything from getting a drink of water to where should I write my name.  Now you have not instructed a single child on their level at a critical juncture in the learning to read years.  You are now livid that your child is not learning to read because someone else is constantly interrupting their instruction.

Parents please remember that although your child is, and should be, your number one priority, they are one of many in the classroom. To a teacher, they are no more or less important than any other child.  They are more than capable of asking a friend first as many of the children will know exactly what to do which preserves the time for your child to learn to read on their instructional level.

Don’t be ridiculous, fabulous teachers have managed 23 students, and more, just fine without silly and lazy “ask 3 before me” rules.  [/quote]

The rule isn’t silly or lazy. The rule (or lack thereof) doesn’t make a teacher fabulous or not. [/quote]

This rule shouldn't be used on 6 year old--too young.[/quote]
