[FONT=&quot]Survivor - Next season on Survivor!![/FONT][FONT=&quot]Have you heard about the next planned "Survivor" Show?[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Three businessmen and three businesswomen will be dropped in a primary school classroom for 1 school year. Each businessperson will be provided with a copy of his/her school's curriculum and a class of 25 students.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Each class will have a minimum of five learning-disabled children, three with A.D.D., one gifted child, two who speak limited English. Three students will be labelled with severe behaviour problems.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Each business person must complete lesson plans at least 3 days in advance, with annotations for curriculum objectives and modify, organise or create their materials accordingly. They will be required to teach students, handle misconduct, implement technology, document attendance, write referrals, correct homework, compute grades, complete report cards, document benchmarks, communicate with parents, arrange parent/teacher interviews. They must also stand in their doorway between class changes to monitor students.[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]In addition, they will complete fire drills, attend swimming carnivals, sport carnivals and be available to participate in after school activities. They must attend workshops, staff meetings and attend curriculum development meetings. They must also tutor students who are behind and strive to get their 2 non-English speakling children proficient enough to pass a basic literacy [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]test. If they are sick or having a bad day they must not let it show.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Each day they must incorporate reading, writing, maths, science and social studies into the program. They must maintain discipline and provide an educationally stimulating environment to motivate students at all times. If all students do not wish to co-operate, work or learn, the teacher will be held responsible.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The business people will only have access to the public golf course on the weekends, but with their new salary, they may not be able to afford it. There will be no access to customers who want to take them out to lunch, and lunch will be limited to thirty minutes, which is not counted as part of their work day. The business people will be permitted [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]to use the toilet as long as another survival candidate can supervise their class. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]If the copier is operable, they may make copies of necessary materials before, or after school. However, they cannot surpass their monthly limit of copies. The business people must continually advance their education, at their expense, and on their own time.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The winner of this Season of Survivor will be allowed to return to their job.[/FONT]
 
...and then your teacher will listen to your explanation to see if you really do understand... there actually is a method to the madness. ;)
 
^^^ Wrong, you learn more from teachng those below you.

Yep, so true.

I was chosen to lecture at the RAN Engineering School because I was thought to be good at my job. I learned just where my real weaknesses were, once I been instructing for a few months. I found that I learned almost as much from the curly questions of basic trainees as I did from my peers.

Asking students to come out front and explain to the class what they have just learned (making them teach) has two benefits. This not only tells you if the student understands, but if your methods of teaching are effective.
 
You snot nosed little punk, you are seriously going to argue with a trained teacher? Damn, if only I was as smart as you... *sigh*
