Can't be worse than philly.
I assume you're in NC, then? That really is middle-of-nowhere, NC.Well, Fayetteville is a Midwest city in a (somewhat) Southern state...I'd rather live in the South than the Midwest, that's for damn sure.

I actually know somebody else who lives in Fayetteville, AR. Tonight, I play the lottery!Source of the post No, the "meaningful" Fayetteville (AR).
https://www.chronicle.com/article/Stude ... gnId=10293"In a recent survey of 1,000 faculty members, commissioned by The Chronicle, almost two-thirds of the respondents said they thought students today were harder to teach than those in the past, and they overwhelmingly said that student engagement had gotten worse. Administrators, who are well paid for supposedly assuring that students get good educations, apparently have never heard of grade inflation or bothered to read the studies questioning the value of evaluations, since they routinely turn the job of ranking the faculty over to the people the instructors grade."
"At the University of Vienna, I arrived convinced that students would pay full attention only to a class conducted in discussion, so I found it uncomfortable to stand at an elevated podium and lecture. But the students not only listened, they reacted so powerfully that I became fixated on making my next lecture better than the last. I resumed this practice when I taught in Belgium and Germany. The more attentive my students, the more enthusiasm I had for teaching as well as possible."
Can't say I'm surprised...Thus, children in a kindergarten curriculum that emphasized play, improving self-regulation, working together and helping one another, and hands-on learning performed better academically, showed less bullying and peer ostracism and more kindness and helping behavior than students in more traditional classes, and teacher enthusiasm for teaching soared.
This is definitely noticeable to me when I go to back to school night and other events for my daughter compared to when I was in school.https://journals.plos.org/plosone/artic ... ne.0222447

Didn't read the entire article, but my wife read "Spark" and has urged me to read it. It seems to be along the same lines - more physical activity = better brain activity.https://journals.plos.org/plosone/artic ... ne.0222447

Yup. We have started something kind “Mindfulness” this year. Promotes self care and basically handling life and stress. However, we’re not really doing away with the testing yet. Hopefully that starts soon.It's the weirdest thing in education... seems like every single theory on how to educate kids is on a pendulum. And it just swings back and forth, back and forth. The "test, test, test, test" days are going to come to an end within the next decade or two, imo. The pendulum has reached its max and it's going to start swinging back.
So made a post about this in politics thread, because it was originally political. Now it’s shifted more to educational, or something. Basically, a parent posted on FB that he heard some kids say they heard a teacher had told her class “Pence should be shot in the head.” Parents then trip over themselves saying she should be fired. She was placed on leave.
This then started making the news, at which point people from all over the country started leaving reviews on the schools FB page, basically dropping it from a rating of 4.9 to 2.5. They commented how awful the school is and how could they let such a teacher exist.
Today, the sheriff released a statement saying, “There has been no threats made to anyone. Any statement that were made by the teacher will be addressed by Union County Public School System,"
It might be good if parents went to the school administration if they have a problem instead of social media. Very little chance she can keep teaching anywhere around here.
We had an all-hands meeting today at work where half of it was dedicated to mindfulness. For the sake of the children, I hope their lessons were better than ours.Yup.

Might there be support for the position that a teacher, an influencer of developing impressionable minds, who thinks assassination/violence is the answer to solving an ideological dispute shouldn't be teaching anywhere at all? That's not a disagreement about classroom demeanor; it's a defective mindset incompatible with functioning in society.Very little chance she can keep teaching anywhere around here.
Yes. Yes we did. Box breathing nonsense.Did you have to close your eyes and focus on breathing? That’s what we had to do. I declined.
I agree completely. The problem is, there isn’t anything beyond hearsay that this happened. It’s currently being looked into by the school administration, but because of parents going to social media instead of the administration to start with, it doesn’t matter what really happened.Might there be support for the position that a teacher, an influencer of developing impressionable minds, who thinks assassination/violence is the answer to solving an ideological dispute shouldn't be teaching anywhere at all?
