[quote=Anonymous][quote]PP, It's about not even getting the basics right at dcps - poor choices of curriculum and textbooks, lack of emphasis on the right things (like phonics), and misguided approaches like differentiation which do not work and only drag everyone down to the level of the weakest link in the classroom. There are many lessons to be learned from the past and from other schools, as to which things work and which things do not work, but instead everyone in the public school system seems to want to rely on the latest vogue educational fads and fluffy feel-good studies by academics. But, the reality is that what's "new" isn't necessarily what's better, and regional and longterm performance and results demonstrate that quite clearly. [/quote]

NP here.

PP, you have a lot of opinions, but it's important to note that they are just that, personal opinions. You can't back up claims about phonics or differentiation and you're not qualified to judge what works and what doesn't. How do I know this? Because anyone who actually works in education knows that there are no simple answers and people like you, who think you know it all, make it harder for the serious people to create and implement the kind of innovative solutions that are needed if we are really to make a difference in schools.

Yes, you're entitled to your overly simplistic opinions, but please stop trying to sound like a professional, because it is quite clear that you are not.[/quote]
