[quote=Anonymous]Because the entire profession is a pretty much a sham in the eyes of people actually doing it. It does not involve teaching anymore. To others, we are useless, the cause of societal problem, leeches of state and federal money.

We know this:

Data mining is crap. You can aggregate ALL the data you want, but it still doesn't explain why Johnny can't read. It just indicates over and over that he cannot. From K-12. Imagine going to the doctor and all that's done is bloodwork. You might have diabetes, but those elevated numbers don't say WHY..... just that you have it. You might be  predisposed, you might be obese, you might have the worst eating habits  in the world. Your diabetes doesn't change.  Dr advice is not taken. So the Dr. tries insulin or Metformin. You might take  it, or not. Your glucose numbers keep rising. No diet, no lifestyle change.  You might be close to death. We are in an American crisis!

Your doctor must be incompetent.

Schools do not stop for those falling behind- they are just pushed ahead.

Behavior problems rule the day, parents enable, administrators keep pushing  more and more crap- nothing having to do with teaching. It really is the worst job.[/quote]
