Perhaps you need to do some research before you dive in to commenting. Principals dictate the programs that teachers employ, down to the nth molecule. In the last ten or so of my 32 years of teaching, I had absolutely no say or choice in the program that was used, nor how it was used. We were directed as to the exact number of minutes were to be spent on a specific part of a lesson, the exact format of how it was to be delivered to the students, and exactly how the children were to respond. Yes, very rigid, but do not blame the teacher, blame our very disturbed society, and the government for fostering robotic, assembly line "education" to create the workers of tomorrow for corporate America.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-35172263482587528242014-09-22T13:47:35.775-04:002014-09-22T13:47:35.775-04:00I think current American education should be chang...I think current American education should be changed.For example, just like our government, too many teachers are too eager to jump into programs that have no proven results, but “seem to fit their world-view better”. They experiment, and students suffer.Very often students need assistance of a <a href="http://dissertationwritinglab.com/" rel="nofollow">dissertation writing service</a> or consultation of professional writer online because they can't get it from their own educators. As a result students trust such services more than thheir teachers, so we need more qualified educators at schools and colleges.Sarah3aharyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401176748137394758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-21612711728205599352014-09-21T20:29:46.415-04:002014-09-21T20:29:46.415-04:00Right now King, Tuschie, the Regents, and especial...Right now King, Tuschie, the Regents, and especially Our Governor Lil'Mario are hoping if they just remain quiet on the Common Core issue it will pass by voters. Both Astro Man and the Hawk are opposed to the CC--they need to become vocal on this issue if they hope to make o\up ground on Cuomo and if opponents of CC hope to beat back the deforming of NY education. The heat needs to be turned up--and soon--or Cuomo will slide by with his CC is wonderful but implementation has been poor position!
