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 don't think thumbs up thumbs down is a terrible idea at all. It gives the students an indication of whether or not they are right the right track. As long as students are not being rude, then I do not see a problem with it. |
