I would like to note that there are EXCELLENT teachers out there – - “Teaching to Test” is not the fault of those fabulous teachers.
It is the fault of the laws that hold “the system” accountable if a “child is left behind.”
I did not take Boo out of school because the school sucked – - it is actually a really great school (with teacher to student ratio of about 15:1). But, her teacher DID tell me that they don’t “teach” the kids – - they “prepare” them for testing.
By the way, I got this great video from Becky at Home Sweet Homeschool. Thanks, Becky!
Nice info, added to favourites.
