That's not "poor instruction" that NO INSTRUCTION. I would have a meeting w/this teacher, STAT. Just because your child is gifted doesn't mean they learn things via magic.
Agreed. This sounds more punitive than anything else. Each of the children in the "cluster" is systematically isolated from the other children in the classroom, using learning needs and differentiated materials as a tool to accomplish that punishment.
I've been told by my spouse that the engineering-preferred term, by the way is "FM" when the process is opaque, poorly documented, assumed rather than actual, or-- er, random. Magic is the
second part of the acronym, apparently.
"So how exactly are the students offered instruction regarding the material that they are expected to have mastered?"
"What process did you use to move from this step to that one in your proof?"
"How, exactly, does that flux-capacitor work?"
"FM."
