I hear ya! It seems that our freedom to teach how we see best is being taken away. It is happening every where.

I'm sad too. I'm so sorry and know that there will be a time when I face this as well.

politicians are making us bad teachers.. wonder what would happen if we did the same to them

Great post - when will politicians start listening to teachers?

great post. Sounds like it is time for push back from teachers! Time for us to all email pertinent blog posts to those in power.

As the stakes go up, it seems that more and more constraints are placed on teachers. Prescribed methodolgy is replacing experience.
