Well, I said I did, but being an experienced, good teacher who pays attention to individual children, I put in some of my own ideas, and tweaked it here and there. (It's so scripted, that the first part of what I had to teach was to be done in "24 minutes." Never mind individual children's needs, and immediate circumstances, and children's ..... oh, never mind; it goes on and on. Canned, and with consumable books. That rakes in cash for the company! <BR/>I didn't know I was going to have to teach it when I accepted the job, or I wouldn't have accepted.

And DEFINITELY not worth the money paid for them!!Abuelita2https://www.blogger.com/profile/16023296415791704149noreply@blogger.com
