When are people going to wake up and realize this doesn't create independent thinkers? I think it's time to review our Huxley and Orwell.
Michigan GOP Says: Teach to the Test
Democracy-Tree
May 13, 2013
"This scheme would force each individual educator to put all their energy into “teaching to the test”, much in the same way No Child Left Behind did to schools as a whole. Not only would it destroy teamwork through the unnecessary burden of teacher-against-teacher competition, but it would enforce a methodology that is proven to be harmful. Teachers would become coaches, and core curriculum subjects would become competitive sports."
But how do they do it overseas?
“Every teacher in Finland has a master’s degree.” He added: “[In Finland] We don’t believe in competition among students, teachers, or schools. We believe in collaboration, trust, responsibility, and autonomy.”
