[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's with the saltiness? Are we afraid to admit that a red state can do something right?[/quote] Parents in DC have seen a lot of “miracle” cures in education. They always start with one shining stat. And then it turns out that you got that one great stat by giving up something else, and in a couple of years the something else comes back to bite you. It’s great that Mississippi dropped Calkins. It’s great that their NAEP scores went up. If you want my school to follow in their footsteps, miss me with talk of “miracles.”[/quote] I mean, if you are in VA the state already followed. Our literacy law was based on TN's, which is similar to MS. Though we aren't holding kids back in 3rd the same as MS. But I hear you on the "miracle" cures thing. It's so true. I've always been a big phonics person and a big "facts matter so teach content rich literature" person, but I also don't think they will solve everything.[/quote]
