@Erin_Alexa_ So gross. So unimportant in the scheme of life. This child will need therapy much more than an elite high school or Ivy League university.
How about we commit to manageable, productive class sizes, instead of mining the “secrets” of veteran teachers?? 35 students will never be easy - and kids will suffer!!
We are being inaccurately portrayed in news/social after a room rental yesterday. Our estimated door count during the event is around 750, not 2500. We've had larger events. We turn 150 yrs old in 2023. And our auditorium, which our guests chose not to rent, holds 300, not 2000.
The sad truth is that there are parents who would rather risk having their kid fall apart at a prestigious college than flourish in one whose name their friends don’t recognize.
@SSKedreporter Many schools in CPS have tried to follow Lucy Calkins’ workshop models (and still do), but every teacher/school implements it differently. Some teachers have always acknowledged the deficits and taught phonics. Many didn’t know better or were told otherwise.
@bksiefert Step 1: Stop scrolling.
Step 2: Read.

(But seriously, my 9 yr old nephew started a family book club and it’s been very motivating. We can start a nerdy parent book club, if you need accountability.)
