[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great point. How dare OP question how teachers are educating her children when obviously public education in the US is going so well? It’s not like “Regular teachers” have any role to play in the decline in American public education.

This what is truly nonsensical. Since waiting for Superman it just keeps getting worse, yet we keep voting for people who will stop school choice because the unions benefit from status quo and they hide behind a broken system saying it will just get worse. Well it isn’t working now.

Great job, Ostriches. [/quote]

It’s PUBLIC school. You want a school to cater to your individual values, go to one. [/quote]

My values of wanting a quality education for children that is competitive in the world? FFS, teachers are against now? WTF are we even doing?

But go on defending playing MTV in the classroom as a tool to educate. Is this real life? [/quote]

Why do you assume everyone who disagrees with you is a teacher. My kid has to analyze lyrics in English class. It teaches him to apply skills outside of traditional “reading.” They looked at Pixar clips yesterday and discussed theme and motif and how music, color choice, etc. work with language to create these things. He was learning and engaged. If you don’t like that teachers are just sticking to books, which not all kids find engaging, especially now, then go to a school that meets your particular idea of what education should be.

My kid did a similar lesson. It was phenomenal! This weekend he watched a movie and told us all about how theme unfolded through the story. His teacher made the skills relevant to him. [/quote]

Guys, we tried. The OP does not want to hear about how this is an effective learning tool. They are looking for a school that only rigorously studies literature.

We all know this type of parent. Emails schools, requests classroom transfer.. same parent who takes a child off the sports team because their child received two minutes less of playing time than everyone else. The parent who thinks they know better than everyone else. [/quote]
