Case: Thumbs Down
I was observing a class of first graders a few years back and the teacher had the students all sitting on the floor around her. She had them come up to the board one at a time and answer a math question. She would then ask the class if they thought the answer was right or wrong and they were supposed to be indicate by giving the child a thumbs up or thumbs down signal. I was student teaching then and it just struck a nerve in me that a first grade teacher would have an entire class giving a child thumbs down if they were wrong. This seemed very emotionally disturbing to me. Does anyone do this or find a problem with this with students that are so young?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have seen thumbs up and down in many classrooms. It is a way to keep the class focused and paying attention. One solution could be to have the student pick a friend to come up and help them make corrections. It could be a team effort. |

Comments: This is great! I have no problem with the thumbs up/down idea, and having a friend go up as well could help any embarrassment. |

Comments: Yeah I don't think that this lesson is to be offensive or negative toward a child I think it is just a quite solution for a classroom instead of students yelling out answers and jumping around. It also helps the teacher to be able to see who is paying attention and who is not. |
