Maybe this is changing the topic slightly but why would any parent have confidence in a system that doesn't value or trust teachers? This morning I learned from a D65 parent that technology is now integrated with all subjects. Specifically , this means kindergarteners have laptops. This flies in the face of what we know about the development of children. More specifically, I'm sad not to witness a revolt by teachers and parents. Why do we continue to accept this top-down model of curriculum strategy. Best learning occurs when a teacher designs lessons ( within standards) based on the needs of her/his students.
