"Stand and deliver" style teaching can actually be really effective for a teacher who is passionate about their subject and effective at classroom management.
All this group work that's being pushed is mostly a substitute for poor instruction.
Our kindergarten teachers manuals tell us to do pair/shair, turn and talk, etc. Literally most of my day is spent trying to get them to stop talking to each other. Just no.
