From a Teacher
A reader had asked Charlie about his plan to close the achievement gap. He had replied that he has made suggestions in the past but that is the Superintendent's and Board's jobs to find a plan. So far what we are doing is not working in any visible way. I believe that the newly-constituted Board may have some new ideas.
But this teacher also had some other thoughts and I applaud him/her for it because (1) in Finland, they have much more planning and collaboration time among teachers to great results, (2) I have been saying for a long time that no one experiences the kind of constant change at work that teachers do - it must be terribly frustrating and (3) more testing means teachers have less flexibility even
