Will never happen.
Heheheh... no. I mean, they did the cursing writing too, but...
I had one baby (who’s sadly in jail for murdering a man who I’m certain was molesting him, long story) who was so focused on learning cursive he’d get angry when his handwriting wasn’t perfect. I praised every attempt he did, and he was so down on himself because he wasn’t getting it perfect immediately.
My kids were really desperate to learn “the cursives” because they KNEW that knowledge was being held from them.
Nope. This is why charter schools succeed in many difficult areas. The unions dictate the terms of education - 100%. Who can teach, how long they can teach, what qualifications are necessary, how many students in a class, what kind of students can be in a class(think ELA), what materials are acceptable, who can teach what, who can coach, who gets paid what, etc etc. I could go on and on.
The biggy in this is that if a charter school is failing; it gets shut down. Good luck shutting down a conventional public school. Union would never allow it.
Unfortunately that would not solve the Federal interference issue. In the current law(amended 1965 ESEA) there is language to the affect if the DOE were to ever get shot from the driver’s seat, another agency would take over the reins. When the states took Common Core money back in 2009, the carrot was money for the selling of the soul for CC implementation. CC for all practical purposes is controlled by the College Board and by its radical CO David Coleman. Read some bios on him and your blood pressure would go up.
UNGH. Red 4 Ed is YUGE here. So there’s that as well.
