I liked the concept in the articl...Hello Mr. Graba<br /><br />I liked the concept in the article in the economist, but it is difficult to tell whether or not it will work with high school students (especially freshman) as efficiently as it worked with the college student. With this new teaching practice, results may vary from student to student, depending on their willingness to work, and maturity level. College students are definitely more matured compared to high school students (may be that is one of the reason that collages offer online credit classes unlike high schools).<br /><br />I remember my mother would follow up with me and would make me read lessons prior to the teacher would teach it in the class. if given a thought, It was just a combination of this new concept with the traditional chalk- and-talk method. I would read the lesson, and then it would get revised in the school when the teacher would teach it, then while doing the homework it would get revised third time. This practice would give me great sense of confidence in addition to good results. But on the other hand I also agree with you on the part that, this practice may increase the work for students. But there is no harm in trying the new method and then take a survey from students and parents. <br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />KetkiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
