[quote=Anonymous]I’m an upper grade teacher who hates Benchmark. The reading selections are uninspiring. I was actually on the selection committee and looking at my notes which I saved, Benchmark was toward the bottom of my list of choices. Kids need whole books to read and delve into - not out of context fiction excerpts and dull nonfiction pieces. I used to be creative with my teaching and projects. Now that I have to be faithful to the Benchmark curriculum, my love for teaching language arts has dwindled. Oh, and my students dislike LA, too.[/quote]
