100% agree! This is exactly how I feel ♥️

[Kareem Farah @Kareemfarah23]

We should all worry a lot about warped incentives in K-12 education. As an HS Algebra 2 teacher supporting a student population with a 1% proficiency rate in Algebra 1, I frequently felt torn about what to focus on.

Should I focus on prerequisite skills?
Should I focus on the Algebra 2 skills and then try my best to fill the gaps along the way?
Should I care more about getting through the content or move at a slower pace and focus on depth of knowledge?

No matter what path I chose, it frequently felt like I was coddling my students instead of equipping them with the skills they needed to thrive outside of the school building. In my early years as an educator, I wanted to do everything for my students. It was my way of "caring". It was my way of helping "fix" the problem. But, skills are transferable only when students can apply them in novel scenarios without support. For that to happen, we must invest in student-centered learning that promotes productive struggle and self-direction. Even if that means we have to move at a slightly slower pace.
