but we are going against a practice being taught to new teachers. It says that children need to talk to learn, that a busy classroom is a productive classroom and that teachers now should have microphones so that children can hear them when they are teaching. Now I have been in classrooms where the children were talking but at a very subdued level and they were on track and making progress. And I have been in classrooms where the noise level was well above what I am comfortable with and the children were also on task and learning. However I have been in far too many classrooms where the noise level is disruptive to any kind of learning, the children are talking but not on task and the teacher appears to be oblivious. When a student, I needed relative calm and peace to learn and I wonder how many bright children are actually being damaged by this approach. Personally I think there should be a balance but that the children should always be able to hear the teacher.
