[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:14 I'm not at your meetings. Internal issue. Sorry.
I'm sure for some kids some of this stuff is very hard due to disabilities etc., but my kids started kindergarten already knowing how to decode all words and how to add and subtract. These skills weren't hard to teach. Took one year. I taught them these skills myself using products sometimes from 1950 and didn't expect the school to. Good thing I guess. I really have no idea why teachers and school districts make things so complex.[/quote]

Of course it is so much easier to teach a child and a one-to-one environment. Especially when it's your kid and you are likely coming from a research rich background.

However do you think you would be able to teach 20 to 25 or even 30 kids at the same time? Especially when they all have different needs and ability levels and you are being mandated to to come up with daily centers and math groups and reading groups and planning small group lessons? [/quote]

So you are basically saying that you cannot teach kids in a public school setting and that differentiation doesn't work. I'm not a proponent btw of the current teaching methods, but it is the teachers who promote them.

If it doesn't work, speak up. [/quote]
