Hmm. Teachers have put forth quite a lot of demands over the past two years. We’ve heard a lot from parents regarding CRT and nonsense teachers are putting in to the children heads. Homeschooling is up tremendously over what parents have seen and now this report
Teachers can get back to basics. Then they’d be in a position to whine. But not now.
The administration in the school; district office; and state department dictate what they do. Getting back to the basics is not an option- which is one reason so many are leaving the classroom. I agree with the fellow Freeper who stated the dangers of “Whole-language” instruction. It does not focus on teaching the basics of reading (letter-sound relationships/blending, etc). IMHO that one program caused too many children to become illiterate. Why was it implemented- because someone in government who holds the purse strings thought it was a good idea and needed to be implemented.
