[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]

I'd be on board with all of that. I can't imagine getting through school without textbooks. I used mine all the time, especially math. I understand concepts much better when I read them on paper; I always had to go back and teach myself from the book after the lecture. [/quote]
