[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t actually matter what you think. My lessons and pedagogy have been published in national publications. I’ve received letters of commendation from my district. You don’t have any insight into what or how we teach, the progress our students make, the lengths we go to to help our students simply by reading posts on a message board, especially about a topic that has devolved this much. If you want to homeschool, do. It’s your prerogative. But maybe humble yourself a bit to realize that if you don’t teach, it is possible that there are aspects of what goes into that that you don’t fully understand. I’ve ridden on airplanes. I don’t presume to tell pilots how to fly planes simply because I’ve been a passenger. [/quote]

All fair points, until the rubber meets the road. If we are falling behind other countries your lessons and pedagogy published in national publications and commendations don’t amount to anything more than part of the problem. I know that may seem harsh, and we know it can’t be easy teaching, but you have to admit from unions to bad policy it’s all failing badly. [/quote]

My students have a 100% pass rate in my grade level SOL that I prepped them for. 100%. No matter what you want to believe, people you disagree with can still be good teachers. In fact, some of us are good teachers specifically because we don’t teach the way some people who aren’t in education and don’t work with kids believe we should.  [/quote]

A D- is a passing grade so saying 100% pass rate doesn’t tell us anything. [/quote]
