[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's a matter of Common Core or SOL. It's a matter of how the children are being taught in the schools today. Are they gaining those critical thinking, presentation, innovative and creative thinking, writing, independent research, and speaking skills that will help them in the future. That is the real issue. Many parents are not happy with the "teaching to the test" mentality and instruction, but at the same time, teachers are being held to those metrics. As a result, teachers do not necessarily have that same freewill to teach how they want to teach; rather, they teach to the test. [/quote] Let's not forget teamwork and mentoring skills.[/quote]
