My class is the guinea pig - Opinions on this new form of teaching?

Asked by babybadger (1790points) March 1st, 2011

My English class has been chosen as a guinea pig for a new form of teaching that focuses on equality. The new rules on classroom ettiquette are as follows:
– Each student shall not leave their desk for anything unless told to by the Council
– Names do not exist – each student (teacher as well) will have a number (For example my number is 6 – 27)
– Each student shall not speak unless spoken to by their Council
– Grades are awarded to the class as a whole – individual grades are extinct

I believe the Council is composed of students, but I am unsure as of now whether they are chosen randomly, voted in, or are chosen through some other way.
This will last for a quarter of the year, and will start in a few days.

I thought it would be interesting to see the Jellie’s responses on this matter….most of my fellow students think it’s ridiculous. I’m excited to see how this will play out in the classroom….

Opinions? Comments on whether it will work or not? Feel free.
