Education

schools under an "improvement plan" had to include much of what you refer to in that plan. Or it wouldn't be accepted. No district wants the plan to be rejected, and outsiders sent in to control the improvement process. So they comply.

Hiring outside private "consultants" to come in and tell them how to manipulate data; how to TEACH TO THE TEST.

Adopting approved direct instruction curriculum.

Narrow focus on tested subjects, with constant practice testing.


It isn't "resistance." It's coercion.

At this point, we've got a whole generation of younger teachers who think that's the way it's supposed to be; they've never seen anything different since getting their first contract.
