Ack!

God he's driving me nuts! His answer to everything is just more worksheets and questions! If the kids don't understand the first 20 questions and are stuck on question 4, how does he think giving them 20 more on top of that will help?! Then they'll just have 36 questions undone and feel even more stupid! And for the kids that already have all 20 done perfectly, will it help them to do another 20? *sigh* Maybe I don't know enough about all this teaching, but this is *not* how I want to run the class. I recognize he's coming from old school, which is where I thrived and I don't mind doing a lot more practice problems than are typically given in the "new math" books, but if there's struggling going on, then we want to slow down, not speed up....

Anyhow, that's my little rant for today. Maybe his 31 years of experience means more than my 3 months *grin* But I'm definitely a little frustrated right now!
