[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, fine.  You and I clearly don't see eye to eye.  I don't think that larding summaries of a curriculum for parental consumption with terms of art and jargon is a good way to communicate with us educational laypersons (if I were explaining my job to you, I wouldn't use every industry-specific term I use with my coworkers).  Frankly, I still think that your language is deplorable and cruel, and I would have a lot more respect for your input if you showed more compassion.[/quote]

So b/c I'm tough I have no compassion?  You're blaming me for trying to teach 18 year olds how to read after being passed along for years?

All I'm saying is that the system is broken, and they're trying to fix it.  Curriculum 2.0, while not perfect b/c nothing is, is the best attempt at helping kids develop critical thinking skills.  Understand it first and realize that it has good aspects.  And THEN attempt to question components that are weak.

I feel sorry for these kids, but sadly, they don't even know how low they are.  I'm excluding the "W" schools, who tend to attract kids who don't need help. But there are so many out there - the "masses" who are graduating with NO skills.  [/quote]
