Folks,
Just a little eye opener..the text books are simply one of many resources these days. Today, each county sets up thier own curriculum on the computer ..which is set up to help us pass the state wide test. Most classrooms have Smart Boards { A giant computer screen } in front of the classroom. The resources we use today are incredible. If I want to discuss the White -tailed deer, I can have deer grazing in my classroom live on a 5' x 7 ' screen. The pressure that you are all hearing about is not how our regular education students are doing; it's the special ed. kids. They are expected to make the same scores as regular ed kids. This is quite a challenge.
