Champaign-Urbana middle and high schools have one of the worst scores in mathematics standardized tests in Illinois(nationwide-probably also). It is the reality!
There are nationwide registered books In Urbana Free Library by the author, who allegedly was offering her expertise to Champaign-Urbana school districts, having all necessary credentials. Districts had chosen to fail the tests but not to hire this author. How does this issue fit into the drawn above picture? Or does the author of the article above think that "warm and individual approach to secondary school children" is the sufficient substitution for basic required knowledge? How could teachers who don’t have the knowledge provide them to children, even if they (these teachers) have the most touching and warm approach ? The program NCLB is requiring at least the basic accountability of teachers’ work, not only the possibility for some of them to present publicly their pretty irrelevant to their job abilities. If there is no basic skills, there would be no motivated learners without such skills. So, what exactly is the author of this article promoting?
This article can be a good example for some research like, for example, How Love (Or Strange Pretensions) Can Ruin Life, or similar. |
