[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we switch the blame from students to educators who defended Lucy Calkins and crappy curriculums - everyone from teachers who bought into it to administrators who selected and enforced the programs. Shame on all K-8 educators who rolled their eyes when parents complained. [/quote] Agree the K-12 educational industrial complex and their crap fad curriculums are largely responsible for the current situation. Need to get back to textbooks, phonics, math facts, learning cursive, reading books, writing (not typing) short stories and book reports. Add in a little discipline and not be afraid to give out letter grades other than A. School systems are bloated with too many administrative levels that add little to no value to the educational process. [/quote]
