I, myself, wonder at why we aren't looking more closely at the education systems in other countries as a way to approach school reform. We seem to be bent on doing it ourselves (with little to show for it) or ignoring the issues. While researching for a paper, I recently read that Japanese teachers spend almost twice as much time in a classroom, but not all of it is spent in front of students, much of it is spent in looking at lessons and seeing what works and what doesn't work to determine what needs to happen next. Yet, this trend is nowhere in US schools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
