I'm a 4th grade teacher. Have been for nearly two decades. I'll tell you the problem.
New teachers have absolutely no idea what they are doing. They want everything spelled out for them. If they don't have someone tell them how to do everything they just get a glazed looked on their faces. Kind of like the kid at the register. We had a math coordinator about 15 years ago that said everything should be fun and cooperative. The most math problems you ever need to assign is 10.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
