Oy. It was joke... I'm guessing that the lack of NCLB in Mexico may have lead to you missing the reference.
I think that depends on the test. I was told by an officer that it was a problem, but that was fifteen years ago or so. Maybe the tests are...
Perhaps providing an acceptable outlet for their creative urges would help. Naaahh.....
I'd suggest that if you don't know why a piece of math works that a calculator isn't going to keep you from making bad decisions. and neither is...
So, TG, what is the rule that lets a person know that 'laugh' is spelled by a different rule than 'calf' or 'caffiene'?
If we can punish teachers for kids that can't read, why can't we punish kids for parents that don't get places on time?
That's just what I mean, TG- we have lots of rules to describe the actual spelling of English, but good luck spelling 'laugh' if you don't know...
Wouldn't it be better to approach this with the idea that there's no need to justify him using clay? I can't really see any compelling reason...

Or pulling something.
I'm sorry, but if they can't understand 'why' what use is it to them? It's just a parlor trick, not math. A dollar-store calculator would be...
Alright. The problem is that just because a program is established doesn't mean their sequence makes any sense or is developmentally appropriate.
People who really learn cursive (I confess I'm not one of them) can write much more quickly and legibly than people can print. Done right, it's...
I agree with mmswm re: sequencing. The problem is that just because a program is published by a major publisher doesn't mean their sequence makes...
Well, that's why I responded- it's not good to let a false definition (even it's one used by some alleged constructivists) stand unchallenged,...
It's a misconception that academic rigor is anathema to constructivism, or that the guiding role of teachers is to be eliminated. Constructivists...
Hmmm... perhaps we could get an even wider range of scores if we had rats nibble on the children's toes as they take the test. After all, the real...
What is it about the work that's supposed to motivate him? Is it something that YOU are interested in? (Not the result, as a teacher, but in...
