[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Districts started to DROP her curriculum. She has never followed the science of reading. Her curriculum also doesn't promote knowledge. It's all about the $$$ for her. So sick of her cult and the teachers who think she is great. They have HARMED a generation or two of students in this country. Disgusting. [/quote] Her writing program is equally dangerous. Having kids write flowery sentences before they formulate a structured sentence with a noun and a verb and have one topic to a paragraph and sequential order. If you have enough adjectives your writing is perfect and you are a writer to Lucy’s standards even if none of your writing makes any sense. [/quote] Yes! MS LA teacher here. LC is all surface and no structure or depth. Also emphasizes self-referential writing rather than academic writing. No sentence mechanics, no internal coherence, no logical flow or analysis. All creativity no academic content. Hate it.[/quote]
