[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] And, yes, we have a problem getting good teachers. But, the problem will become worse as you fire people and try to get people who know they will have less control over their actual classroom (and live with the threat of being thrown out by the "tests"). And the pay is so high anyway. :wink: But, of course, you could believe that all the kids will be on computers learning anyway so who cares what the teacher is like. Just get a warm body. The "learning" can be controlled by materials and tests that are designed by people at Education Central, Inc. The teachers who are against this are the smart, brave ones. The ones who like CC are more likely to be younger and afraid of speaking out against it. [/quote] More likely the few teachers who are grumbling and cynical are the ones who just want to preserve the status quo and who don't want their boat rocked. "Smart and brave" in the sense of being the first ones to go crying to the union any time there is a change as opposed to smart and brave in the sense of actually wanting to make a change to help improve the state of American education.[/quote]
