Has anyone tried working with this text. It's dreadful it's way too hard for most of the students. The co-teacher just translates most of it and sometimes uses me as a human tape recorder. |

I am getting the impression that you have a lazy coteacher. If you're not so lazy and have the fortitude to suggest to your coteacher that maybe you could try a different approach in class, then you might have more effective classes. I usually take what each book lesson is "trying" to teach and re-work it into a better activity, lesson, or game. I have the support of all my coteachers in this approach, the students are more involved, and, surprise, they pay better attention. |

I'm guessing this thread is sarcasm from the other current "Middle school English" book thread. |

Depends on what parts of the book.
What is a bad weed.

Are terrible terrible lessons.
THe author Stephen P Van Vleck should have his Masters and Phd removed for allowing his name to be put on garbage like this. |
