You want to help kids, get your tails back into the classroom and stop wasting our time with this media grandstanding to pretend like you are making a difference.<br /><br />If thought this stuff mattered I would not be so insensative and blunt, but we have been playing this reform shell game for a couple of decades now and teachers are just tired of it and tired of being bullied and demonized. <br /><br />KDE Old Testement: And reform begot change which begot realignment which begot recalibration which begot change which begot reassessment which begot revision which begot review which begot reform which begot....<br /><br />Enough already, stop looking for the damn educational holy grail and start spending money and time directly on students and not on fabricated initiatives established to make the public think you are doing something of value.<br /><br />If you want to see what is important about education, the entire staff needs to take a field trip to West Liberty and realize that all this mindless alphabet soup of assessment and curriculum changes don't mean a hill of beans for teachers other than more work that doesn't contribute to any significance for our children. Just money for vendors and slogans for politicians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
