[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s teacher autonomy, I think it’s a crap curriculum. “Teach the child how to think, not what to think,” “little kids aren’t developmentally ready to learn facts,” “rote memorization is pointless in the modern world,” etc. So yay, now we have a bunch of citizens who don’t know anything. [/quote]. Of course little kids are developmentally ready to learn facts. In fact they are little sponges who are EAGER to learn facts...that are relevant and exciting to them! Curriculum depends on your school district. Some are better than others. Same with teacher quality. Same with teaching to the test. The most important factors in academic achievement are socio-economics of students, education level of mothers/parents, teacher quality, and class size in my opinion. - a teacher[/quote]
