[quote=Anonymous]The problem is not teachers. Teachers are plenty smart enough and incredibly dedicated. The problem is with management. I do not blame superintendents. School boards are not up to date on what is possible. 1 - Classroom teaching is inefficient. It's 100 years old. Time to move on to multimedia. TV has been around for 50 years. There is no excuse for not using it. 2 - Teachers are bogged down with administrative duties. The school room is the most paper intensive of any work environment. 3 - Too many topics, too fast. What's the rush? Too much memorization, not enough time learning concepts 4 - Way too much testing. All that testing creates a lot of useless work and can hurt student confidence. 5 - Math as a subject is older than every other subject taught. "New" math is a joke. We should stop wasting time with silly ideas and focus on concepts and applying math to solving real problems. [/quote]
