What can parents do to add some useful developmental information to their kids' palette to keep them from becoming just another "brick in the wall".....get them involved in creative things..music, dance, etc. and listen to what Frank Zappa said.
As a teacher and Zappa fan, I agree with this. As many of my colleagues and I complain to each other, it's only getting worse. Standardized tests and the new emphasis on state standards has dominated actually teaching to think. I've had to combat the insanity by arranging as many field trips, guest speakers and creative activities as possible. It's been an uphill battle this year to do any of it, thanks to state testing.
