I don't agree with you about NCLB, but that's not what's important here.
You've lost 30 pounds? Tell me how.
There are some good that has come out of NCLB, however, the bad is in many ways we are still spinning our wheels. You have just described a major part of the bad side. It is no wonder to me that I know several people who have simple decided to pack up shop and move on to greener pastures.
Many would say the ones who quit are the ones we don't need and some are, however, many of the folks I know are the very ones that have great ideas and do a great job in the classroom. They are simply tired of being lumped together with those who can't perform and not being listened to by anyone in charge.
I also wrote to my representatives, and even wrote to George Miller volunteering to come on my own time and expense to testify before his committee.
I never heard back from any of them.
I named my whole blog after NMLB (m=moron)
I wish commentor 1 had elaborated on eggsacly what he/she/it disagreed w/
On those inservices.. OMG.. can you imagine what those in the Real World would do when confronted w/ such?
REVOLT
There is a way... why don't "they" do it?
Keep data on the teachers.. like they make +us+ do on the kids... and (gasp) individualize education (insevices) based on +documented+ results..
There ARE computers. They KNOW which runts have which teachers. Therefore they KNOW who is not teaching fractions...main idea.. blah blah
CraXy.. I say.. Nuts to the max
Imagine having the entire advanced English class stay after school to discuss the prefix "re" for an hour or two.
I quit.. but what balogna

"socially-promoted, not-held-accountable-for-their-learning-or-
behavior" sub-groups --I ABSOLUTELY love that description. We have those at our soon be failing school.
