[quote=Anonymous]Ok. Know I am going to get flamed here but there is one simple reason why public schools across this country are failing including FCPS. The best and brightest no longer go into teaching. Most of the good teachers left are near or at retirement age. Those few good ones that enter the profession are driven out by the poor and mediocre. The average SAT score for those pursuing education degrees is 1060. They find out they can’t teach and move into administration and chase one fad after another. They couldn’t memorize their times tables so that must have been a poor approach. They hated public speaking so we shouldn’t make kids do it. They felt bad because other kids had better grades, so now we have effort and mastery grading or no grades at all. It is time for the US to adopt Finland’s model before it is to late - https://hechingerreport.org/teacher-voice-in-finland-its-easier-to-become-a-doctor-or-lawyer-than-a-teacher-heres-why/ [/quote]
