They have to face huge odds, a legacy of bad educational theory, and opposition whenever they try to keep high standards. So I don't blame any teacher for whatever she has to do to survive and teach the best she can under her particular circumstances. Lots of excellent teachers have been fired for refusing to toe the line. While that preserved their principles, it didn't help the kids who lost their excellent teachers.Rosslyn Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11304732306399786236noreply@blogger.com
