If we remembered these realities, we'd be moved to teach differently. Cris Torvani is clear that it isn't good enough, and it wasn't good enough. She came to this realization early on and approached a teacher for help in her senior year of high school. She asked what she should do if she read without understanding. I think the answers to those questions are clear.
Swimming requires certain steps put together with actual practice.
Solving problems requires an understanding of purpose and steps to reach a solution. Torvani's students' descriptions of teacher behaviors that they have learned to rely upon hit me hard. Pay attention to teacher recaps that offer all you ever really needed to know in the first place. Others act out and disrupt a process that they cannot easily join. We spend lots of time focusing on the disrupters, much of it on efforts to get them removed from our classes.
