Tonight, I am just hoping that for the last part of this year, the teachers all just really want to teach.
I am sensing some sort of 'movement' in which there are people assigned to teach, but their definition of teaching is so different from ours. We actually want our child to know things.
It seems as if the emphasis is on everything except the attainment of knowledge. We still think actual knowledge is helpful, useful, necessary.
Yes, admin., testing, skills training, team building, etc., is wonderful, but we also want the teachers to want to teach, to be passionate about teaching and to actually be teaching.
We are hoping that what we have experienced is just part of elementary school with an all inclusive, no child left behind legal mandate.
We are hoping to move on from this stage eventually and get to the knowledge attainment level for our student.
Can anyone else relate?
