[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's pretty low on my list of concerns. It's not like textbook-learning was inspiring for lots of kids.

Lazy teacher[/quote]

No textbooks and no real teaching anymore.

I recall my 7th grade social studies teacher lecturing the entire hour.  She sat perched on a stool in the front of the class- no notes, no slides, she just talked and narrated US history.  It was long one long story hour and it was phenomenal.  I don’t even think most teachers have this knowledge ability anymore [/quote]

I posted on DCUM about three months ago that I still lecture and use textbooks. I was criticized and insulted for two pages because I’m a bad teacher who doesn’t follow modern science about how students learn. I don’t teach elementary school; I teach AP courses to 12th graders.

It doesn’t matter what teachers do. We are going to be considered lazy, dumb, ineffective, etc.

As for your comment that “most teachers” don’t have this knowledge: we do! We just are told to teach using the latest fads created by “instructional experts”.
