I don't understand why we don't see more schools do this. Lots of ideology have taken over elementary schools where I am. It's either traditional teaching, with little back and forth and lots of improvising by teachers, or "alternative" Freinet/Montessori style teaching, focused on letting students supposedly "discover" everything. It's great for some topics, but for many like language and mathematics, you need to go through the drill and be told explicitly how to do something, AND do it yourself. It's all about step-by-step mastery and progression, non-stop.

This is how I was taught in elementary- through recitation, memorization etc. I am 52 and I still remember everything I learned then. Schools these days waste so much time and resources doing wasteful activities and center times and so on where no real acquisition of knowledge happens.

I agree. This is the way I was taught in the 1950’s through the 1960’s. Nothing new.

Wow, demanding responses from students constantly through vocal response really keeps them engaged. I remember reciting arithmetic equations in second grade. It worked !

It’s exactly how American schools worked years ago.

This was how it was done in the elementary schools that I attended in Illinois. I remember English Class that was not my normal class room. It didn't seem odd to do it cause other kids moved around too. I understand now that I was going to a higher level English class based on my personal skill level. That makes so much sense to me.

This is how WE were taught in the 70’s! I just don’t understand why this was changed!

The private school I went to was like 4500 a year, but now its almost 10,000 a year. Hopefully Thales will keep them selves accessible to the public. I wonder why no one has ever done this type of a system before.

Who shot this? This is phenomenal

Nicely done! Clear explanations and very professional! Congratulations to Thales Academy.

I go to Thales academy in north Carolina, USA!

Thank for sharing.

Interesting.

Lesson plans are important. Aims and objektives 😉

Of course these schools are all over on the east side of the country. I'm drowning in make believe pedagogy over here on the west coast. Even the state ed board has no idea what they are doing. When I got into teaching, this is the type of knowledge I thought I would learn - and I even went to U of I as an undergrad where all of this came out of, and it was nowhere to be seen. Instead I was reading House on Mango street and being taught methods by a business entrepreneur with no educational experience. Crazy world we live in.

Kind of how we teaching the alphabet... we sing the alphabet song at a young age.

What grammar curriculum is used in this video?

In NC you apply for the NCSEAA Opportunity Scholarship which is easy to do, and pays for tuition. I didn’t think we would qualify, but we did!

$550+/- per month for elementary student

All the dislikes are from the students who went through this torture

At minute 7:27 did I hear "a subordinate clause comes first: It expresses a complete thought"? Oh, really? It can come first, but it's not a complete thought; rather it's a dangling phrase.

Good presentation to direct instruction but turn off the music

I don’t understand why we think this is like a new special thing. There are classrooms and schools like this all over the country. Direct instruction is essentially just standing in front of a room. Callbacks happen all the time. Putting a child in higher or lower class based on shown ability literally happens every where, it’s called RTI. I’m not impressed with this. They are just doing what every one else is doing. Maybe the just have better test scores because it’s a private school and most people who can afford private school can also afford all of the other things that makes a child successful - like health care or parents that care.

Bridget A Thank you! I go here and it’s all BS. Nobody gets good grades. Them saying that they cater to the students needs is not true, the only class that has a junior high AP class is Math. No one here caters to anyone’s needs. They just laid off a bunch of teacher because they didn’t teach. They’ve higher a bunch of new teachers that suck. They’ve taken away our P.E time. There is no cafeteria so if you don’t have friends on your 6th period class lunch, too bad. They’re is nothing special about Thales. It’s just like apple, they pay these people to hype up their school to earn an extra buck. I beg anyone and everyone to not go here. The classrooms are small, classes with over 32+ kids, terrible WiFi, terrible math curriculum, no cafeteria, terrible (for the most part) teachers, not enough locker room space(we have to change in the public bathroom, where anyone can walk in), and overall but a friendly space. When you first go they butter you up and then they leave for the next paying customer.

Just human, it is happening in schools throughout the country, just not crazy public schools. Nothing new here.

Your school is very abusive I passed out and was kicked so hard in the stomach by a teacher named Young or something, ever since that kick in the balls, I became smarter and a successful student. I am now 283 years old and made my own company.
