[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please read “The Knowledge Gap” by Natalie Wexler. Lucy Calkins is HORRIBLE. I can’t believe teachers go along with this. [/quote]

Omg don’t blame the curriculum a whole district buys and says teachers have to use on the teachers. How much say do you have over how your leadership tells you to do elements of your job? [/quote]

I’m a nurse and you’d better believe that if my coworkers and I were instructed to do things that consistently led to bad outcomes, we would speak up and demand change.

WTH?? You’re ok with accepting the failing state of education? I seriously have to question your integrity if you’re ok with continuing to operate this way. Jesus. [/quote]

You are not telling the truth.  I have worked in both a hospital and a school and have seen plenty of nurses in bad hospitals, who knew they were in bad hospitals, doing things in bad ways because they didn't have a voice and needed their jobs.

Our schools are structured like the military - principal gives orders, and teachers cannot disobey.  You literally can be fired for "disobeying a direct order" from the principal, regardless of what it is.  [/quote]

You have no idea what you’re talking about. We speak up all the time, and if needed - notify medical boards when someone is doing something unethical.[/quote]

BULL.  I worked in a hospital for years, and the nurses knew perfectly well which doctors did what awful thing and NO ONE spoke up.  That's extremely rare.  You are totally lying, or aren't even a nurse.[/quote]

LOL. You worked in ONE hospital for years! You can totally speak for the entire nursing profession! 😂[/quote]

“I can paint all teachers with a bad brush but you can’t do it for nurses.”[/quote]

Test scores all over the nation don’t lie.[/quote]

We are a hugely obese country with lots of diabetes and other health issues. Guess that’s on nurses by your logic. [/quote]

No, darling. The equivalent would be if the vast majority of patients entering the hospital were to die. Your logic is flawed. You see, a lot of people become obese and develop diabetes before they seek medical attention at all. With our help, we keep most of them alive.

Before the kids enter your school, they are uneducated (not your fault). The fact that they REMAIN uneducated despite your intervention is ABSOLUTELY your fault.[/quote]

There is a percentage of children who remain undereducated, because their parents won't shut up when it comes to insulting public education and teachers. Your children do listen to you even when you think they are not. If parents could find a way to support the public education system instead of trash it every single day, students might actually give it a chance. We see students every single year that are shut down from day one. And a lot of that gets traced back to home.

If you can't find a way to help versus hurt, then I suggest you look for something beyond public education.[/quote]

The thing is, we have. We supplement a ton and our kids are doing well. I’m concerned about those kids that aren’t able to access tutors and such.

You placing blame elsewhere is very telling. Do better.[/quote]
