If you are a teacher who has taught students?

Question

for a long period of time. And was given new data on information. Knowing this is indifferent than what you've been instructed to teach and have passed many students on this "misinformation" what has been done to rectify the learning error or should I say addition.

I hope some are wise enough to bypass the bad grammer and spelling on the account that I was to live on the streets of Toronto at age 17. Please refrain from your lack of insight and your impuls to finger point. And answer the question at hand. Please!

Answer 1

I can only tell from my experience as an undergraduate student. I once read my social work book. After getting very curious about the subject matter, I found more contraticting evidence.

So I made copy's at the University in the social science lab. And wrote a letter stating my findings to those that have printed the book. After a few weeks, I forgotten that I did that. Nevertheless, the book author came back writing to me. And thanked me saying." He did not realize that he was wrong, but will change my findings with new research and documentation." Sometimes, I think it helps to speak up. Perhaps you should do the same in your situation. Good luck!

OK - I think I understand your question, since it is fully applicable to history, one of the areas most revised from the truth. yes, you are often stuck with a textbook, but efforts are made to get a book that is most representative of the facts. what we have done is to not have students read those sections that are clearly not correct, and present outside material that is correct.

For example, many books gloss over how prisoners were treated during the Civil war. Depending on where you live int he U.S., the book for that area tends to paint the other side as the bad guys. reality was - both sides had horrific prison conditions for captured soldiers, treated them poorly, starved them, even tortured them. Some students aren't even aware that there were war prisons.

I personally have used the movie "Andersonville" (I teach high school students and get permission slips) since this is the most accurate and the most graffic was to present the matter.

But then, I'm a firm believer that if you present the facts of what war does to the people, not just the politics and strategies of it, you might get a generation less willing to participate in war in the future.

Answer 3

Are you talking about a grading system that was implemented and was suddenly changed? If it changed, when did it change, during mid year? If so, all teachers should be notified as well as parents and students. This change could affect grade point averages and affect class credit for graduation purposes.

Speak with your department head and then both of you go from there. If there is no department head, go to the counselor or principal and discuss it with them. It probably will not be such a bad situation after all.

Answer 4

The idea of teaching is to inspire students to learn. One objective to guage whether or not students are learning is to check understanding by a series of tests designed to tell whether or not a student is at grade level.

I don't teach to give students a recitation of facts. I share information with students to challenge them so that they will begin to think for themselves.

I am required by my school board to perform at a certain level that is known as benchmarks and if it is determined that something is being taught incorrectly there is a process for remedy.

Answer 5

teaching faulty information ignorantly doesn't make you a bad teacher. Teaching faulty information willingly does.

Answer 6

Boy do you need to rephrase that question. Indifferent information? What do you mean? I assume you don't teach English or grammar...
