oh great, another way for schools to churn out kids who can't think for themselves. scripted lessons? might as well get a robot to teach.
each to their own mate, but what do you suggest then? more funding that disappears?
As long as kids learn basic maths and reading, I don't see the problem. Teachers are overworked, scripts help reduce planning. But universities would complain cos it threatens their fancy theories.
yeah nah get stuffed. scripts are for bandaids, not education.
Scripted lessons are literally killing creativity! We need kids to be innovators, not robots! This is what happens when you let bureaucrats run education! 😡
lol uni professors never stepped foot in a real classroom. easy to judge from ivory towers.

half the time teachers can't even manage a classroom, scripts are just a safety net. but yeah, uni lecturers need to justify their jobs somehow.
I work in a school maintenance. Teachers are stressed as. Scripts might help consistency. But I dunno, seems like another box-ticking exercise from above.
absolute garbage take. we need creative problem solvers, not factory workers.
i went through scripted learning in the 90s and i turned out fine. ppl need to chill. not every kid is a genius, some just need structure.
agree with you. teachers are bloody saints, scripts just help not burn out.
What a load of shit. Teaching is an art, not a scripted performance. Next they'll have scripts for playground duty.
built different clearly. but most kids need actual teaching, not a script.
didn't realise our education system needed another course correction. just let teachers teach ffs.
