[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 464075, member: 11791"] Nancy, I will accept that it is not true where you live. Would love to export your univ. profs to teach here! HERE? Everyone acknowledges that it takes at least 7 years of "teaching" before new teachers even [I]begin[/I] to catch on to what teaching really means. Because here, they are taught classroom management and curriculum development and so on... but no child psychiatric, no skills developed for blending fast, average and slow kids, etc. For example, nobody here knows how to teach printing, much less handwriting... all they do is follow pre-printed programmes, in a set sequence - even the spec. ed. teachers can't do this. Kids are given "opportunities for learning" - but no supports if they can't make use of the opportunities they are given. [/QUOTE]
