  • Right on! Listen to this teacher.

  • This woman hits the nail right on the head! Too bad she can't hit George Bush and the other nitwits who thought up/implemented NCLB right on the head too. The kids are suffering from this ridiculous "test driven mentality" and good teachers are leaving/changing their profession because everything is being run by big business and people who have NO freaking idea on how to actually TEACH a child. Bravo for your courage to speak out Jane!

  • Very good, you're said it, we're supposed to be teaching to the diversity of our students while teaching from a restrictive, narrow and non creative curriculum and yet the diversity of the teachers has been lost. Here on youtube, I saw a video called "We are Robots" with the children one after another saying this into the camera. I think another video should be presented, this time with we teachers, for truly, we have become robots. Thanks for the post.

  • dude this lady is my teacher! lolololololololololololol Mrs. Littlefield!!!!
