Debbie, And, whose idea is this learning "to teach the right way" that these DI scripts spouse? There is no right way to teach. There are philosophies which then guide our teaching practices. The teaching practices in DI programs are clearly scripted so that there is minimal out of the box thinking and everyone is on the same step at the same time (philosophy). There is no regard for different size thinking, rather there is disregard for the messy life of the classroom. Elisa
