dc.description.abstractThis paper discusses teacher intervention in reporting at first grade level in classrooms in Jamaica, St. Thomas, and US Virgin Islands, and looks at the possible implications for the student’s development and eventual advancement within the school system. The discussion examines both the indirect and direct responses, and includes comments on areas of the curriculum in which indirectness may have a positive value as well as those in which they operate negatively.en_US
