Kirby, in recent posts you made two claims: >That was a paradigm shift as well and part >of a longer story that, in my experience, students enjoy hearing, find >edifying.
and: >I have aimed to show there are easy ways to introduce OOP early, using >Python syntax as a guide, that don't require great feats of mental effort >on the part of students. My Dog and Monkey show is quite accessible >to average 8th graders in public school as I've proved in the field. and I was wondering if you would be willing to support them. How do you assess whether or not your students comprehend the material at a level that you consider satisfactory? Anything formal, or just your feeling? What proportion of your kids need to get it for you to be satisfied? The reason I ask is because my 10th graders are well above average but it's quite clear to me that there's -no way- that they can get the material you describe in the time period you are talking about in any useful way.
