busy as a B

i've noticed in a lot of my classes that i ahve been taking this smester have shopuld ways to teache strudents. lesson plans, etc. some i think are good but teh majority of them i feel to be busy work. some of this things are making stduents do all this elaborate work to learn a vocabulary word or something. sometimes i feel that there is too much busy work in school. i feel that i coul dbe teacher college classes if i was told lets have the students learn a new cool way to learn one word and take two weeks to cover this really cool way to learn. learning is fun kids. blah blah.

it seems that there are a lot of buzz words to make it sound like what the stduents are doing is cool, fun, their learning, etc. but take the buzz word aside and they are just doing busy work. i think there are better ways for students to learn than busy work. busy work makes kids frustrated, give up in school and a lot of is NOT fun....
