[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS BLOWS!![/quote]

why? because they are following the state requirements to train teachers to teach kids how to read? [/quote]

You would think a four-year degree in elementary education would cover… teaching a child how to read?

I don’t get it. What do teachers learn in college?![/quote]

It's the "education experts" coming up with "new" curriculum that's the problem. Fads. The latest method, that's what they teach the teachers-to-be. Now they have to learn the science of reading.[/quote]

I blame in part the inflated Syphax staff for the constantly changing curriculums.  There are too many people employed by APS whose job is predicated on identifying and purchasing new fads.  It’s not only incredibly costly but it’s detrimental to our students.  Even if, in theory, a new method or textbook was truly necessary (which it is clearly not), what teacher in their right mind would want to/be able to master the new fad?  APS has become its own worst enemy. [/quote]
