But Bill Bennett has reappeared, in drag, in the form of Betsy DeVos. davidberlinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929556604356298339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-76624357388497373942019-10-31T08:47:31.878-04:002019-10-31T08:47:31.878-04:00Coleman's "4-corners" approach to re...Coleman's "4-corners" approach to reading reflected an astonishing level of ignorance about how children learn. Teaching (and testing) literacy skills in a vacuum was a really bad idea. Doing it at the cost of lost learning opportunities in science, geography, history, civics, etc., was an inexcusable reaction by the profession to RTTT and the NCLB Duncan waivers.

I'd like to find an introduction to public school privatization that would be accessible to my 8th grade students who have asked to study it (really). I thought of the film "Backpack Full of Cash," but I don't have $350 for the license fee. A documentary film would be ideal, because we could all experience it together. Is there such a thing available, or perhaps an in-depth piece of TV reporting we could look at instead?gkm001https://www.blogger.com/profile/04288582206956930505noreply@blogger.com
