| under perform and those that excel. That can be said | | | | In an average class lesson, the teacher conducts the |
| of the students too. To date, it has been very difficult | | | | lesson, then has a Q&A session with their |
| to find a school system where every student can hit | | | | students. Some kids put their hands up while others do |

| the teachers, then the students, then the resources | | | | lost ( a very important part of interpretation by the |
| -STOP already! | | | | student) |

| Well many of us know that virtually all schools have | | | | state institutions ( I am sure many will disagree |
| computer access now and those that do also have | | | | because they have hugh vested interest but realty |
| internet access. Currently schools use a specific | | | | check with people who use the products will tell you |
| scoring system like FCAT or TASK (depending on | | | | the truth about why a product with so much flexibility |
| state). They often also include weekly tests. Many see | | | | for micro level use can actually heavily improve the |
| them as critical in record keeping on student progress | | | | macro environment of such structures). Remember |
| which is reciprocated on school achievement. Yes to | | | | pictures paint a thousand words so video description |
| some degree but then with all these high tech net | | | | can trigger the mind as never able to on text, the |
| related systems, why do so many students continue | | | | same can be said about vocals with respect to text |
| to fail or get low grades? | | | | and real language skills. |
| It lies again in the understanding the core - the student. | | | | With this in mind let us move to the student. Each |

| Many people look into issues such as limited teachers, | | | | home after the lesson. The teacher gets the results |

| the faults. This is the wrong way to analyze. | | | | who needs oversight). It is like as if the teacher asks a |
| There is a study that suggests that is commonly used | | | | question and every student raises their hand. |
| in buyer behavior, it is called "association". What this | | | | Here the teacher can "INSTANTLY" see where their |
| means is that if someone associates with you then | | | | teaching style is failing and needs a change or exactly |
| they respond more effectively. For example, you are | | | | what each student is failing in so he can direct that |
| currently looking to go on vacation to Barbados and | | | | student in the following lesson in a manner that will help |

| you instantly associate compared to someone who is | | | | Now under conditions prior to supercandidate, an |
| not looking for a vacation. | | | | expectation like this would be impractical. However |
| The schools have it right to a certain extent with the | | | | here the teacher and student waste less time ( due to |
| record keeping system but what should be noted is | | | | more accurate methods of spotting errors based on |
| that these are designed on stringent generic setups | | | | the content on that particular lesson, by way of |
| that allow uniformity to the programming style of the | | | | teaching style( as the teacher's own style is used) and |
| organization. However are students uniform? Ask | | | | by way of student perception(as the teacher is seeing |

| conclusion as me - NO! | | | | method of teaching). |
