Student centered learning means every child must re-invent the wheel.

That’s ok, MY CHILDREN only go to schools that still teach basics - it’s the OTHER CHILDREN that are stuck with with schools that use “facilitators” rather than teachers. Wow, am I lucky!!!

(how FReepers rationalize sending their kids to public schools, even given what they read here)

No, because all children belong to the community.

My daughter is experiencing this in 11th grade history at her very expensive private school.

The teacher basically assigns group projects and then the kids present the projects.

He rarely lectures.

It’s horrible for my daughter. She has a brain injury, and she does terrible with group projects because of communication problems. The other kids basically do her part of the project which is unfair to all the kids involved.

She’s not learning anything.

She does great in traditional classes with a book, lectures, and worksheets. In those classes, she gets high As.

She is barely passing in the history class.

Next year, I will pull her from the school if it happens again.

Thank goodness, her other teachers are good.
