[quote=Anonymous]The same things are happening in a lot of other school districts. Testing is king. It is big business. The testing companies then sell their curriculum, including digital products, to help with "individualized learning." So the teacher is required to use these digital products to help students pass the tests. Our principal has weekly meetings with the other 14 schools in our network. They show the usage of these digital products by school. It's like old-day shaming since school usage is ranked for everyone to see. Then our principal gets on us about upping our usage so she won't be shamed in from of her colleagues which in turn makes us use them more frequently. If I had my way, I would only have students use them at one center for maybe 15-20 minutes each week but we also have to use them during "individualized learning" time every day for appr. 25-30 minutes. Ridiculous. These kids need more recess and time to build with blocks and look at books, etc.[/quote]
