[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basically turn back the clock a few decades:

- workbooks & textbooks

- spelling, grammar, math facts drilling (the kids should drill the facts so much in school that it does not matter if parents use the flash cards or not)

- daily joural that gets spotchecked/comment/occassionally corrected by the teacher to prompt writing - this should be weekly homework so parents can help with corrections too
 
- lesson plans and materials the teachers can use, with differentiation included, so they don't need to spend time figuring that out & can spend it on quality grading/feedback and plus-up stuff.

- tracking - whatever you want to call it - so that the kids that need more challenge can get it vs. the entire grade having to do the lowest level

- ESL until kids are fluent enough to keep up

- allow teachers to discipline [/quote]

Agree with all except the last, if by "discipline" you mean corporal punishment. In my experience, the teachers handle the class pretty well. It's the admin that bows down to certain parents, and their threats, if they fuss at having their kids held responsible. [/quote]
