That is not a problem with the drill style per say but toxic teachers and parents. You can make someone drill without tormenting them for failing. I think doing drills is good if done in a supportive setting, but it is also and should not be the only way to teach.
- nextaccountic 5y agoDo you know any kid that signed up for math drills? It's nearly always imposed by parents or teachers.
- odshoifsdhfs 5y agoMy kid would be super happy with it. His teacher as a 'reward' for doing his language-related stuff on time/quicker, lets him do math worksheets
- throwyuno 5y agoI loved math drills. In first grade we would get a sheet of simple math problems and the teacher would give us 5 minted to complete as many as possible. I was good at it, and it was one of my first experiences of competition and being better at something than my peers. I don’t know if any of that is a good thing, and it definitely would have sucked if I had been slow at math.
- Aunche 5y agoI was certainly more excited by math drills more than attempts to make math "fun."
- tsumnia 5y agoFunny enough, this is my current gripe with learning CS in K-12 settings. The mindset I have on it is "we're just teaching it to them at younger age because they can't say no".
