[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ES teachers only seem to care about testing.  So little actual learning is going on.

If 20% of them leave, there are probably computer programs who will do a better job.  Lexia Power Up last summer taught my child more than two years in the classroom.  [/quote]

In my 20 years of teaching ES, I’ve never met a teacher who wants to test. PP is obviously just trying to stir the pot.[/quote]

  Funny how these people aren't willing to look at how the school system, administration and state laws/policies affect the classroom, but are so myopic they just blame the teacher.  I think there is a layer of misogyny in there because it is easier to blame the powerless and those who are women, but wow and it just keeps happening![/quote]

Not all teachers are women.[/quote]

It’s a mostly female profession and is regarded as a “caregiving” profession so her argument is legitimate.  I’d also point out the men in the profession have advantages their female colleagues don’t because they are treated better and given more respect and authority.

And the majority teacher in MS and HS which reinforces the stereotypes of female teachers.[/quote]
