My repeated experience has been that the teachers on the ground (actually teaching the classes) know exactly what they'd like to do to improve things, but they instead have to implement whatever new policy has flowed down from who knows where this year or decade.
(An actionable example of a policy that parents can implement today is "redshirting" where you hold a child with a late birthday back a year in pre-kindergarten)
- derbOac 2y agoYeah I didn't mean to sound condescending toward teachers or educational researchers for that matter. I just meant that I think usually when it gets filtered into policy or curricular discussions at a certain level I feel like the discussions start to be about other things, often unspoken, and things get oversimplified or misused one way or another. Teachers, students, and parents often get overlooked in that process.
