A lot of school instruction time is actually just repeating itself over & over, not even changing the way a thing is said or explained, with the hopes that it will just…. Eventually sink in.
Smaller classes would help, the ability to change methodology ‘mid session’ would help. The ability to allow children more agency to direct discussions would help. But all of those things need more teachers/training. And ‘progress’ is less easily quantified/standardised
@Alien_Sunset All of this makes complete sense. When I was in grade school, the classes were small. If there were thirty students in a given clasroom, that was a lot. We were always encouraged to ask questions and to get involved, and teaching was not just repeating. Yes, there were pure lectures as well, which I personally enjoyed, but I never found them to be repetitious. There was always something new to learn. We also had videos, etc. so it wasn't always the same style of teaching.
