does the fox guarding the henhouse come to mind?
It really doesn't matter where OC came from. We have to use SOMETHING to
teach these kids. I was just as furious when I heard the connection 5 years
ago, but our enemy is NOT the program. It's the administrators who peer over
our shoulder and call us "infidels" (ha ha) if we all aren't on the same
page. The program I used before OC didn't even direct me to teach much
comprehension at all. How helpful was that? I was excited to see all the
interactive lessons in OC. This country is run by the almighty dollar, and
even if we got rid of scripted programs, there would be something else to
shove down our throats so someone could make money. A good teacher can work
miracles with any program if she isn't being micro managed by an
administrator who doesn't have the individual child in mind. Just educate
us, give us great ideas, give us many different ideas, let effective
teachers train new teachers and give us the REAL research to draw from. I
think administrators are also being
told what to do with us. Maybe their job is on the line, too. Someone
higher up has to come to their senses. Bush is being advised, and poorly
advised I think.
