PETER:My problem with programs is that it is sapping the thinking out of
teaching. Too many new folks are utilizing programs as their first shot of
instruction when they are in their first year of teaching and not having to
'savor the struggle" of teaching reading. It is so frustrating.
BEV: I would agree. Those such as Susan O'Hanian would wonder if it's not
politically deliberate. Whatever: it's heartbreaking and terrifying for our
education in a democracy.
PETER:Good is the enemy of great. Great is the enemy of possible. Possible is
what we would always be shooting for.
BEV: WOW!!
