[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One can thank Lucy Calkins and Fountas & Pinnell for much of that decline. [/quote] Other disasters: 1. print first then cursive, followed by replacement of cursive with typing 2. de-emphasizing wrote memorization particularly multiplication table/math facts 3. technology in the classroom 5. mainstreaming special needs kids in the classroom 6. not expelling for academic underperformance and repeat behavior problems 7. not requiring chapter books to be read from cover-to-cover 8. finally and most controversially: whining about test prep. Some would call preparing for an exam studying (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). If it is a well-written exam there is nothing wrong with teaching to it! [/quote]
