This is very interesting. What about the other kids? Are they learning with this approach?

(If you are doing a project every couple days, chop chop chop, I could see where a student might learn quite a bit, just by being kept busy. But if a so-called project is for weeks or months, then what you have is a lot of busy work. In that case a student can get an A, but when you try to pin down what the student actually learned, it might be very little.)

Her twin sister who is gifted also has him for a teacher. She is doing better in the class, but she says he’s an awful teacher. She’s better at comprehending what she’s read, so she does better on tests.

There’s another kid in the class who has worse grades than my special needs daughter. I was talking to her, and she feels like she isn’t learning anything, and she is failing his tests.

I think the kids who are smart do okay because they teach themselves.

Both of my daughters hate it!!
