Learning for Dummies–New Teacher Blog

Posted on | March 8, 2009 | 5 Comments

Learning for Dummies is what my new teacher blog is called. I just posted a story about Friday over there.

Oh, and the title doesn’t mean the kids are dumb. Oh no. Well, not most of the time, anyway.

I have to admit that I chose the title because it seems like the sort of thing people might click on. And doesn’t it seem like we approach learning like we are teaching dummies? I know it does when my son comes home from school the day after the writing TAKS test and says, “We don’t have any writing homework for the rest of the year!”

Learning???

Maybe if they didn’t treat our kids like dummies, some of them wouldn’t behave like they do. Who knows?

    All about those tests, and not so much about the learning. ARGHH! It’s frustrating.
