Everyone I know wants to continue. It's just the vocal minority of LiM haters that are against it.


Everyone you know? Where do you live? What is your role (parent, teacher, admin, stakeholder in LIM)?

I'm an administrator and only know of one school out of several clusters that is interested in continuing LIM. I'd be concerned if my staff were adamant about continuing this nonsense.


You must not get out much. Everyone I've spoken with in person thinks it's a fabulous program. What's odd to me is the only place I 've heard anything negative is here.

I don’t believe this for a minute. Nobody I know has had a single good thing to say about it. Please tell us what everyone finds fabulous about it.

Trolls who are in support of the program and brainwashed sheep. I genuinely feel sorry for your kids and good luck out there in the real world

It’s a cult and has no place in a public school. Absolutely insane that they paid some amount of money for this.

My ILT clapped when we heard we didn't have to do it.

Which schools are still planning on implementing this waste of tax payer dollars program?

Yes, our principal told us that schools now have a choice whether or not to continue with LIM. We never really implemented it at my school due to staff concerns around the program so thankfully, no summer LIM Kool-Aid sipping for me!

My high school will not and we will be told to unenroll from the training this summer.

The word is Leader in Me in has had a poorly managed roll out with bad reception at most schools. However, some principals want to continue it even against the advice of their own ILTs...

The only place LiM possibly makes sense is elementary school, where kids are with the same teacher all day. I heard that he MS and HS curriculum are written presuming kids had done the ES and MS curriculum, which is clearly not the case. Glad that HS can ditch this stupidity and glad I didn’t waste my time or brain cells last summer on the training.

Agreed!

It relies on corporate-think and buzzwords, and the buy-in seems pretty low. Also, there seems to be some cultish connection to the Mormon church...Why are staff required to attend this two-day summer training that could be better used to teach classroom management, content-specific training, fight de-escalation training, etc? Or, maybe teachers can simply have a break from a very difficult year and use their summer as they see fit? How much does this cost again?


That's really odd everyone at our school from students to teachers loves it.


+1000

I think this person is either a LiM shill or perhaps they work at an elementary school that uses it well. I haven't heard of any middle schools or high schools that like it.
