Flipped Classroom

1. Less teaching, less accountability

1.1. It sounds like you want to do less teaching and leave the kids on their own to learn. What will they do when they are at home watching the video and they do not understand or know how to complete their assignment?

1.2. This idea sounds like teachers are just trying to make their jobs easier with less accountability. How will you know when a student is struggling, if you’re not teaching them all class period?

1.3. How will you be able to hold kids accountable for what they do from home? They could easily say they watched the video and really not do it.

2. Trying new things

2.1. It’s about time technology is being put to good use. My student has always struggled with understanding her math teachers’ ways of teaching. Maybe this will make a difference.

2.2. You guys are always on a bandwagon to try new things that never work. Why don’t you stick with the basics?

3. Lack of finances/equipment

3.1. What about those of us without a decent computer or the internet? You can’t tell me I have to spend the money needed so my kid can learn from home.
