Yes, it's all about the test scores and funding. There was an article in our local paper recently about the awfully high drop-out rate in our local school system. Why are so many dropping out instead of sticking with it? Because the system says learn or be left behind. Too bad for all these kids who need extra help.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you were a wonderful teacher and I'm also sure that if you were offered a teaching position today, you would think twice about accepting it. I've often thought about mentoring or reading to the kids or assisting in some way. But, sadly, I find I am busier now that I'm retired than when I was working. That's life, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting my site today. It was good to hear from you.Motherkittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05112722238053618079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36375433.post-7483622867829701492007-07-22T13:39:00.000-07:002007-07-22T13:39:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Motherkittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05112722238053618079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36375433.post-68297876569357303202007-07-19T04:48:00.000-07:002007-07-19T04:48:00.000-07:00Nicky needs a preschool teacher :-)Nicky needs a preschool teacher :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36375433.post-66701271454627733422007-07-18T22:10:00.000-07:002007-07-18T22:10:00.000-07:00I think many teachers now "teach to a test" Test s...I think many teachers now "teach to a test" Test scores affect funding. <BR/>My daughter and I were just having a discussion along these lines recently. It has to be frustrating to a dedicated teacher to feel such constraints..<BR/>xoSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024132046092264711noreply@blogger.com
