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 this in many classrooms as well. It is a strategy teachers use to ensure student's are paying attention. I have also seen teachers use sort of 'if you want to be a millionaire things' like phoning a friend or class solutions type things. I think allowing the student to take control over what they feel they need to do next. Maybe phoning that friend or asking the class what is something the student needs to look at to fix will make it fun and less like they're being singled out. |

| Comments: I like the suggestion of keeping it as a game that still makes sure students are paying attention, but in a manner that might be more respectful and cooperative. |

| Comments: I agree with this solution. Allowing students to receive assistance and support from their peers will prevent them from being embarrassed or singled out when they are unsure of how to solve a problem. This solution also promotes team learning and cooperation, which are important skills for young students to practice using. |
