I read everything on her site carefully, but it's still difficult for me to understand how she does it. It's not clear how she can make some sullen, hostile, uncooperative child care to answer questions as posed in her Socratic teaching approach, or even stop being wild in the classroom. She is truly amazing.
The charter schools here are ripping off the school districts and not performing any better. They are scoring lower. The segregation of schools again is taking place under the nose of the government and it is really an odd thing to watch.
I understand that she also is able to teach others to do whatever it is that she does, so it must be a transferrable, learnable set of skills and attitude. I would love to hear more about exactly what and how she does this. Anyone have any wisdom to offer on this subject?
