[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Benchmark is terrible. My students hate it, my colleagues hate it, I hate it. It's poorly written and makes language arts an unpleasant experience. It won't be better next year.[/quote] Why can't we get back to having teachers creating lesson plans at tge school level instead of the district pushing down one worthless program after another? Give them metrics like mandating phonics instruction in the early childhood grades, creative writing in the middle elementary grades, and writing process plus grammer in tge upper grades, then let our talented teachers have at it at a school level, only stepping in and micromanaging low performing schools that are not hitting benchmarks? I bet achievement would improve everywhere is FCPS did this, including the struggling schools.[/quote] This is what they were doing and it was TERRIBLE[/quote] +1 Parents complained at no end about it.[/quote]
