[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers in America need to learn humility. It's a failed profession. The results are abysmal and for all the talk about how hard they work, there's nothing to show for it. Every generation of kids is more badly educated than the last. Instead of accepting their responsibility for that, they vilify parents, because those are the people who see their failure up close and personal.[/quote]

Who do you think makes decisions in education? Not teachers. Teachers have to fill in the gaps.

Consultants, school boards, and administrators make the decisions. Teachers deal with the fallout. And the fact they get as much done as they do after the influence of those who don’t teach? That’s impressive. [/quote]

Teachers did not randomly themselves start telling kids not to sound out words and to guess them instead. That was told to them re: how they needed to teach.

Teachers do not invent this insane new rule about emptying classrooms when one kid who does not belong mainstreamed is throwing a fit and destroying it. [/quote]

Exactly. Look in the threads about Algebra for all 8th graders, inclusion, grading policies, testing, PBIS, restorative justice, and discipline. None of these things were introduced by people who are or have recently been teaching in classrooms. There's a gigantic industry that profits off convincing school boards and administrators that they know better than teachers. Stop falling for their nonsense and we'd see improved results.[/quote]
