Here's how it works around here. Teachers need to get the students to pass the state tests in order for them to keep their job due to the NCLB act. Instead of focusing on comprehension, they focus on getting them to learn what will be tested. For example, the child will learn that 2+2=4 instead of understanding how this came to be so that she can then solve any other problem.They are also given the same material and they are not to stray from it. No room for creativity. In fact, one day I went to school to leave a jacket to my son and as I walked down the hall towards his room, I noticed that every class was spelling out the same exact word at the same time. It was weird! Reminds me of this:
Pointing around: "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you, I'm out!"
