[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s just one more way to point fingers at teachers instead of acknowledging that students are poorer and less likely to know English than ever before.[/quote] I'm an ESOL teacher and all of my kindergarten students except two (both were tested for IEPs and qualified under developmental delayed) met their end of year reading benchmarks. Our school is appr. 90% FARMS. The problem is that school districts are looking for the silver bullet curriculum and it doesn't exist. They fall for slick marketing. Our district bought Wit and Wisdom which is garbage for K-2 but it claims to level the playing field. They used the "e" word (equity) and that's all it took for our district to dive right in. Stop blaming teachers. While they say they welcome our input, the truth is that they already know what they are going to do no matter what we say. Change in public education is as slow as molasses.[/quote]
