Polémico e provocativo

Ainda assim, vale a pena ler o artigo de opinião do New York Times intitulado "A New Measure for Classroom Quality".

Basicamente advoga que a qualidade do ensino é directamente proporcional ao tempo que o professor passa realmente a ensinar.

Assim, segundo a opinião deste autor (R. Barker Bausell):

"A focus on relevant instructional time also implies several further reforms: Lengthening the school day, week and year; adopting a near-zero-tolerance policy for disruptive behavior, which classroom cameras would help police; increasing efforts to reduce tardiness and absenteeism; and providing as much supplementary and remedial tutoring (the most effective instructional model known) as possible."

No mínimo, polémico.
