I think that reflective and knowledgeable teachers is the key to the challenges we may encounter in the classroom. I agree that if all we do is complain and don't have any suggestion to offer then it's not a good thing. Thanks again for your comments. Elisa
Elisa Waingort Grade 2 Spanish Bilingual Dalhousie Elementary Calgary, Canada The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart. —Helen Keller Visit my blog, A Teacher's Ruminations, and post a message. http://waingortgrade2spanishbilingual.blogspot.com/ Elisa, I guess that sentence did imply that, but it was meant as a more generic response to teachers who don't like teaching phonics because it's boring or they don't comprehend the importance of it. So many teachers on other mailrings complain about teaching phonics because all they have is an adopted reading series from which to gain information. I suppose that would cause anyone to hate teaching phonics. More and better teacher training is one answer but that's also another story.:) Deidra Chandler
