NOOO!!!! This is terrible! Kids trust teachers! Teachers need to know enough about children to keep a classroom in order, which means teachers who can teach can undermine parents teaching (if parents are not careful). As a teacher, I completely hate their using the skills I don’t get paid enough to hone. Yes I get summers off, but during the year I put enough extra unpaid hours to = working the summer. That is not counting overtime. IMO - parents need to be on the school board, on the PTO, a d volunteering in the classroom. This will reduce the amount of “fuckery” happening.
More - IMO and experience, the guided reading method of teaching reading is ineffective, and actually harms children. It really only helps good readers (who have involved parents, or tutors). It will further slow kids who can’t read well (inner city, poor kids, and those whose parents can’t or don’t read with their kids). Guided reading is the “premier” teaching method for reading in our nation, pushed much harder in big cities.
