Short version:
Among her concerns that have now gone viral:
- “I have experienced the depressing, gradual downfall and misdirection of education that has slowly eaten away at my love of teaching.”
- “The emphasis in eduction has shifted from fostering academic and personal growth in both students and teachers, to demanding uniformity and conformity.”
- “Raising students’ test scores on standardized tests is now the only goal, and in order to achieve it the creativity, flexibility and spontaneity … have been eliminated.”
- “Everything I loved about teaching is extinct.”
- “Curriculum is mandated. … The classroom teacher is no longer trusted or in control of what, when, or how she teaches.”
- She says complaint forms and write-ups are being used as tools to target teachers and keep them as “yes men,” instead of being used to get rid of poor educators — and she even takes a shot at the union.
