[quote=Anonymous][quote]Vague language and misspelled words are just indicators that the whole process was not professional. If the Language committee could not be bothered to proof the standards for clear writing, what makes you think that the foundation of the standards is good?

This reminds me of a few years ago when my district "leaders" trotted out the "best practices".  It was basically a list of all kinds of things that were considered the "right things" to do in a classroom (and many of them were pretty vague like "having a welcoming environment").  Anyway, my boss told me that "thousands of people" had reviewed them.  I found several grammar and spelling errors right away.  Big joke.  It's hard to be a very big believer when stuff like that happens.

The "best practices" were printed on pretty paper and sent all over, but now they seem to have drifted away.  I think most of those pretty papers went into the circular file. The jokes about them are still recalled by many.  The money spent on this nonsense is out of control.  If people want robots in front of their kids, just say so.  But I don't think that's what parents want.  They will be voting one way or another. [/quote]
