WOW! I’m grappling with the elementary curriculum changes, and can’t get it out of my head because of the red flags that pop up all the time–it’s not just this loss of 15% of “specials” but the overall values it suggests the school district is bowing to, and itt’s a slippery slope backward. I can see in our principal’s face, even as she argues for it, that she knows in her heart she’s giving up part of her dream of education–and everyone is afraid of punishment if they don’t shape up and produce the test scores for the State.
Well, I’ve always heard good things about you from Vic Talarigo and others. Now I’m really looking forward to my daughter having you for Challenge next year.
