[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worry about what's happening to education in this country as older teachers retire. I worked in elementary schools, and many of the teachers can't even spell. I won't even get into the grammar mistakes.... It's embarrassing.[/quote] I was a new teacher 30 years ago and this was true of many of my elementary school teachers her colleagues even then. And today the emphasis on spelling and grammar is even less than it was then. Instead the focus is almost entirely on social-emotional development and leaning into feelings and validating lived experience much more so than 2+2=4 or foundational reading, grammar, and writing skills.
