[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's pretty low on my list of concerns. It's not like textbook-learning was inspiring for lots of kids. -Teacher [/quote] Kids are learning less now than 10 years ago. Is it the lack of textbooks? Is it block scheduling that reduces daily practice and doesn't work for attention spans of students or teachers? Is it using computers rather than paper and pencil? Is it NCLB effects? Are kids just worse now? Or teachers?[/quote] It's all of it. Also there are fewer teachers. Also it's COVID. Also it's lazy parents/guardians. Also it's no discipline for students who are disruptive. Also it's decades of lowering standards to raise graduation rates. [/quote] This was happening before covid. The curriculum and teaching style changed more than 10 years ago and its not a good change.[/quote]
