[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's the educators who need to get sued. They should have known better than to buy a shit program with no phonics. [/quote] Agreed. Teachers voted on these programs and educators run the administrative levels in FCPS too.[/quote] I'm a teacher and we did in fact vote on one of these programs. We voted NOT to have it. Admin made us put our names on the ballots. Every teacher who voted NO was called into the main office and asked to change their vote. Threats were made. I'm not sure how many people gave in and changed their vote, but admin brought the program in the following year. It was a colossal failure. There was a bunch of teacher turnover, the literacy coach quit halfway through the year. Reading scores never got any better. I don't work there anymore, but I heard through the grapevine that a couple of years ago they got one of the new phonics programs instead. [/quote]
