Really? We can't discuss the fact that our government is making decisions about what teachers can and can't teach children, and have decided they can keep the entire process, including their decisions secret from us?
That feels like enough to discuss to me.
- chmod600 5y agoIf we wanted to discuss that topic, is this article the right place to start? What is Florida's process? How does it differ from other states? What is the role of human discretion? What are some other examples of how this process plays out? We are left to guess. Or maybe some comments here will offer the information. Either way, a bad, clickbait article.
- kcplate 5y ago> We can't discuss the fact that our government is making decisions about what teachers can and can't teach children If public school teachers made the decisions than the government would be making the decisions. Public school teachers in Florida (and frankly elsewhere in the US) are government employees. This is a government setting teaching standards for itself, its literally what government has been doing since it got into the public education business. In Florida (and frankly elsewhere in the US) private schools can set and choose their own curriculums. If the public curriculum is not to your liking, go private. I believe even in Florida, you can opt in to charter schools too, which have more curriculum flexibility than the public schools.
