[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is NOT poverty. It is the curriculum. Read articles or books by Natalie Wexler. The Lucy Calkins story is so shocking - how the heck did she become so influential. It may be because she makes it easy for teachers. Not only is her workshop approach awful for reading, it is equally awful for writing. Read The Writing Revolution and see what direct instruction with the Hochman Method can do. Public education needs to be evidence based. [/quote] They're a hundred reasons why the public education system is flawed. Those do include curriculum, poverty, bad teachers... But it also includes things such as lack of parental involvement, poor communication between school and home, lack of resources, and many many more. I suggest, if you have a huge problem with public education, that you run for school board or find other ways to get involved at the local, state or federal government.[/quote]
