[quote=Anonymous]I ran it by a second grade teacher. Her feeling is similar to mine: While the concept of understanding 'why' in mathematics, etc. is an admirable one, making it mandatory will be exhausting for most kids as even an adult can't maintain this deep level of thinking for 8 hours a day. And she feels we are seeing that now with the preliminary rollout. I do believe that the teachers themselves could come up with the best ways to meet these standards without exhausting the children, and you see that in the responses from teachers here. They truly understand how kids' minds work because they are the ones in the trenches with them. But that's not what's happening. And that's why education is best handled at the local level. [/quote]
