Low Points In Eduction History
A school in London has banned children from raising their hands in class and teachers from calling on students with their hands raised.Wouldn't it be easier to, you know, teach them the answer?
Buck said the same children often wave their arms in the air, but when teachers try to involve less adventurous pupils by choosing them instead, it leads to feelings of victimization, the Daily Telegraph reported Saturday.
To spare embarrassment of the students who do not know the answer, the school has incorporated a "phone a friend" system, allowing one child to nominate another to take the question instead.
Then there is this guy, where was this guy when I was in school?
Professor David Weale called it a "January clearance" -- and clear out they did. Dismayed by his crowded classroom, the history teacher at the University of Prince Edward Island offered his students a deal some couldn't resist: Drop this Christianity class and you'll get a B minus.My profs made the class harder if they wanted us to drop.
