Kimmers,

When I worked in health care the term was "Management theory de jour". Sometimes it was almost literally true.

Knowing how to reach the child is part of the art of teaching. I had a few duds but many of my teachers were artists of the first order. Today it seems that those "in power" are looking for technicians, not artists.

Do you have standardized testing in your schools. Do you think the standardize test show much of anything?

wdyat12,

As troll will probably pipe in and tell you, I can get a lot more convoluted than that. As I don't see/like simple answers to complex issues, its an occupational hazard. That and a lot of stuff refers or infers back to earlier posts on the first three parts of bush-wacked. And I may have tied my thinking in a knot as I post to several forums and sometimes I forget what I've said where.

Question are cheerfully answered and positions explained.

And if I'm ever wrong, I'll be happy to admit it :-).

Regards,

John
