Astonishingly bad ...

Those who WRITE plays/films do not use scripts
Those who WRITE music do not use scripts

Much of teaching is creating the contexts of learning, not performing them

[Ian Cushing @ian_cushing]

beyond the obvious pedagogical flaws with teaching scripts, remember that they are generally produced by transnational corporations who generate serious economic profit for themselves by (wrongly) convincing teachers that scripts make teaching more equitable and efficient.
