Here is a “must-read” blog post from my friend Dr. Mark Naison. We are losing millions of lives. They are just disappearing. They are “The Disposables”.
Who Are “The Disposables”?
Who are the Disposables?
And here is Poetic Justice’s response:
Recipe for Educational Malpractice and National Catastrophe:
BEGIN WITH:
Forcing children to read texts that are 6 grade levels and more above their instructional reading level.
THEN ADD:
Forcing children to write in a formulaic and robotic manner disallowing any personal connections or life application.
STIR IN:
Pressure to achieve high scores on invalid and unreliable assessments.
COVER WITH:
Stressed out, paranoid, and targeted teachers only thinking about their own evaluations.
This is the perfect recipe to create a nation of disposable children who will just disappear from the data by the time they are 21.
Choose to #DoNoHarm
And who were these people as children? They were ESL, basic skills and special ed. It is getting worse. Between must pass tests and underfunding schools, we are creating more disposable people, not less.
