[quote=Anonymous][quote]People with common sense know better than to just accept someone's opinion or talking points at face value without data or the means to verify what they are saying.

I frankly have zero reason to believe you at your word that you are actually in the schools every day, there are more indications than not that you aren't actually a teacher. Even teachers ought to have the common sense to know better than to just make statements without having the backup and data that they can turn to.

But even a teacher might not have a sufficiently independent, objective or broad perspective to understand the differences between states or what is happening in schools longitudinally as students progress, or the trend over time of what has been happening. [/quote]

Wrong.  I have been in more than a few states.  I have taught for a long, long time.  I have experience with a wide array of students in three subject areas.  I am well respected as a teacher.  I am terrifically saddened by what is happening and that is why I post.  I have no reason to come on here just for "fun".  Zero.

If you are reduced to attacking the messenger to discredit the message, you're in a bad place with your argument.  The "teachers are too provincial" argument doesn't hold water. [/quote]
