[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s get back to the point. Benchmark still sucks after a year. And yes, I’m a teacher. I’m a pretty decent teacher who used to do rigorous, challenging work in reading and writing, and creative projects with my upper elementary kids. Now that I’m doing Benchmark there’s no time to do any of that, and I hate teaching language arts. Needless to say, my students, who are smart, hate it too. I’ve got to find a way to get back to what I used to do, when kids were more excited and inspired.[/quote] Decent or Good or Great? Leaving that alone I want to know what your challenging and rigorous writing and work entailed? Did you cover spelling, affixes, comprehension strategies, annotations, grammar introduction and reinforcement? Did you provide and critical feedback and correct on the writing assignments? Please note I’m not accusing I’m seeking clarity and details.[/quote]
