Edmonton teacher suspended for giving 0s

79. one thing we need to recognize is how teachers present material to interest students in subjects

Some are good at this; others not so much. Teachers have to compete against TV, internet, phone students regularly use. Teachershave to figure out ways to interest students: have them work in groups, use internet, videos and phone for assignments, etc.

I turned a whole dead science class around by suggesting to teacher that she SHOW std's to students instead of just using the computer to project a slide with a list of terms they should know. She refused my suggestion, saying she didn't have time. A student surreptitiously got on the computer and showed pix of std's from google images. Suddenly the class became lively and students were riveted, wanting to know more. And she should have given them more; she was talking about bacterial vs. viral infections, a perfect time to show diagrams, photos and videos of how these different infections work.

But of course, she "didn't have time."
