[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Teacher here. 1) Textbooks should be used as a resource not a curriculum. Even when I was in school, our textbook was used for HW not instruction. The only textbook in ES that would be helpful is math. The reading levels are too varied for content textbooks to be useful. 5) I think parents in general would be disgusted with what they see in the classroom regarding behavior. Yes, there are individual problem children but there is also a lit of disrespect coming from kids to the teacher. Parents also need to be on board with consequences and this seems to be the larger issue. [/quote] I’ve taught both with and without textbooks. Teaching with textbooks let me assign chapters for kids to read at home. When they came in, I could turn to page X in my teacher manual and be told exactly what to do. It gave me more time to focus on giving actual feedback on writing, etc.[/quote]
