They are not limited to what is just in the text and what’s given to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of teachers, even the good ones and those in "good" schools, struggle to get all the required teaching done, let alone expanding upon what is required.

Nobody said it was easy. It is one of the challenges of the job. I’m not saying a teacher is bad if they don’t reach some high standard.

For most of our upper level classes we don’t even use text books. Primary sources are the standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 You can also teach things that are in the textbook using primary sources. Part of what I mean about having good teachers. You have to do more work (I guess depending on your situation) but you can create more engaging worthwhile lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
