Re: Have you ever hoped for something to fail?

[(Anonymous)]

To be honest, I hope this frustrating initiative at my school where I teach fails.

Basically, I teach in an American school where standardized test scores are EVERYTHING to my bosses. We are constantly under pressure to increase the percentage of our kids who pass every year, no excuses accepted. Well, apparently we weren't making gains fast enough, because some textbook peddling swindler conned our district into dropping a ridiculous amount of money on books we are REQUIRED to use, alongside a scripted curriculum. The whole thing reduces kids to data points and stats, us to trained monkeys reading from a script, and all of the textbook authors are dead white guys and all the stories or poems are dry canon with no relevancy to my students' lives. Naturally, we all resisted it. Kids hate the books, bomb the tests from the books, and act up out of boredom and disengagement.

If our test scores improve, we'll have to keep up this ridiculousness another year and their flawed perspectives will be validated.

But if the scores don't improve or even worsen, maybe we can get back to real teaching and materials our kids actually enjoy.

So yeah, kind of hope this textbook mandate fails.
