[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree, it's so much better than anything that has been taught in FCPS elementaries in the past 10 years. I am so glad we finally have a curriculum instead of cobbling things together from previous years and TpT.[/quote]

Maybe lazy teachers like it because they don’t have to get creative. The lessons are canned and ready for them. The good LA teachers don’t like it. They want real novels. I’m sure the AAP teachers hate Benchmark.[/quote]

It's been proven over and over again that since you can't get the poor teachers entirely out of school giving canned lessons is the best way to ensure kids aren't left behind during the years they have them.

And there's no reason all AAP teachers are good. Between my kids they had many different elementary AAP teachers and some were amazing and some weren't. So I wouldn't blanket say AAP teachers hate it.[/quote]

Again it’s not that canned that makes it easy to teach. A lot of colleagues are doing terrible teaching it. [/quote]
