[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so confused by the backlash against op. These are just truthful parts of American education and have been for quite some time.[/quote] Exactly! I suspect the backlash is coming from people invested in the current system. People like Lucy Calkins and her myriad certified instructors (now debunked) or DoE bureaucrats. I cannot understand how anyone would not agree that we need to improve our educational system and have ideas for doing so. [/quote] Those in the trenches see that we need to improve mastery of basic skills first. Posters are going on about calculus when there are plenty of students who haven't mastered basic math. Everything after that is a waste of time for these students. If they can't read basic decodable books, no use in assigning them Chaucer. If they can't write a grammatically correct sentence, what good is assigning them essays to write?[/quote]
