Amazing work. Sadly, although we have many excellent teachers, I'm afraid the system they are embedded in is becoming increasingly toxic and punitive for both teachers and students. After tomorrow we will be homeschooling both of our daughters, despite them both going to what is supposed to be a highly ranked district (CCISD south of Houston). Unfortunately, the school district's policies are having a very negative effect on education. I will say that as a graduate school professor and a person who values life long learning, I feel the 4 year college for all goal is doing a major disservice to many of our kids. Many kids don't need, want, or will succeed at a 4 year degree. Pushing them in K-12 to try to achieve this just turns them off. Better to prepare them for a trade. Of course, we could do better by using evidence-based teaching and learning principles--something our school district doesn't follow.
