Welcome to my blog, created to attend to the multiple issues in public education and learning today. Education and learning is a broken, miserable system. Our kids are out of control, the states have way way too much power, and it’s truly not a surprise that we are seeing a hemorrhaging of educators. As a teacher with thirty years of experience, I’ve seen it all. The good, the poor and the unsightly; and the unsightly becomes worse with each passing year. Oh, how points have actually changed, and not for the far better. The shifting top priorities in American schools (state mandates/ take overs, high-stakes testing– extra on that in future blog posts), and the decrease in family members worths are ruining of our youngsters. American children are spiraling precariously downward and will likely continue on this trajectory for many years to come. Individuals say that children have changed. Nope, they haven’t– and allow’s not condemn kids for something that we , as a society, have done. Children have reacted to a societal pendulum that has actually turned method too far in the wrong direction. Definitely and unquestionably, what has actually transformed is the American society and its methods to youngster rearing. Social standards and criteria have actually loosened up to the factor of being almost nonexistent. Therefore, educators have actually had to adjust accordingly. Conformity to expectations for the child is no longer required. In fact, it is currently vice versa. Moms and dads are running themselves ragged seeing to it their youngsters are never ever dissatisfied and expecting educators to do the exact same. Basically, fitting the ever-increasing needs and needs of kids is, actually, developing miserable childhood years, in addition to damaging our culture and schools. Thank you for making the effort to read this introduction. I look forward to creating a lot more. I wish you will certainly stay as I continue to publish and dig much deeper right into these concerns.
