My daughter is a high school AP bio teacher. For her observation this year, she chose a project, to observe and evaluate the 8th grade science program at the “feeder” junior high. Shocked, she found 8th graders completing the scientific method by doing group community projects, which had nothing to do with science nor the scientific method. For example, one group collected toiletries for an assisted living community, without asking the facility what was needed. Another group’s project was collecting trash on the beach. The most enlightening aspect of her observation was that one teacher watched the students in their group work, while the other teachers had a “free period.” No wonder students score so low on tests!
I’m watching. 😵💫. Switched to QVC and ordered a nice sweater during the Black National Anthem. Knew my prediction of a rigged game for the Eagles was pretty good before half time when Mahomes limped out. Watched Rihanna and Googled whether she was pregnant because her outfit looked like she was hiding her belly. Dance moves were lame, but she did “channel” Michael Jackson with her hand gestures. I liked her acting job in “Battleship” better than this performance. Dancers in white looked like space aliens. And—-it’s time for the second half!
Daughter’s niece-in-law is in teacher program at a Cal State University. You can now graduate with a teaching credential in four years. NIL was in special ed throughout elementary and high school, while all teacher testing requirements have been dropped. Many of her classes were online during the lockdown, so who knows who did them for her?
