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!)
The students shouldn't be placed in this position. It is ok to have the students come up to answer the question, but not for the class to tell them they are wrong. |

| Comments: I agree with this. Especially at a young age, children can be very sensitive. Giving a child a thumbs down really isint right in my opinion and they should do it. |

| Comments: Even though I agree with you, I think giving the students thumbs up and down are visuals that show the teacher where the students are at and if they get the material or not. |
