This past week I noticed a fifth grade ALERT (gifted program) student =
spending a lot of time at the catalog monitor. When I walked by she =
asked which was the publisher on the record she had pulled up. I =
explained and then noticed a pad on which she seemed to be listing a lot =
of stuff and inquired. She said her assignment was to make a =
bibliography of ALL of the animal books in our library. I expressed my =
surprise and said "Are you sure?" "Oh, yes, she replied. I asked to =
see the written assignment and she left to get it. They NEVER bring the =
assignment along for some reason. =20
Darn if she wasn't right. That is what it said. The teacher had copied =
a page out of one of those teacher helper type books and along with 20 =
or so other activity choices was:
Make a bibliography of all of the animal books both fiction and =
non-fiction in your library.
When I explained that her list could run up to a thousand, at least. =
She seemed to think this would be ok with her. I went to the teacher =
and told her that if she needed such a bibliography I could just print =
one out of the automation. Her answer was to have the student just pick =
something else from the list.
Don't teacher READ their own assignments. Have you encountered similar. =
Send me your most ridiculous assignments and I will compose a HIT.
