Teachers Are Sharing The Everyday Things Students Can’t Do For Themselves Anymore

“Most do not understand the concept of alphabetical order, or how to research or even write a formal paper without cheating.”

“Administrators, government employees, all want quick results without allowing us time to teach basic concepts. Everyone is looking for a quick fix!

Go back to what’s been proven to be effective: basics first, then build on them. Stop changing programs every two years that require teachers (outside the classroom) to learn how to implement yet another program that will be obsolete in a couple of years. Someone making lots of money wants you to believe their program will suddenly improve math skills or reading skills with a ‘trick’ or a ‘new concept.’

Go back to ‘common sense teaching’ of the basics and give students a fighting chance.”
