You have GOT to be fucking kidding me. This– this nonsense RIGHT HERE– is why no sane person wants to teach any longer.

The blog of Luther M. Siler, teacher, author and local curmudgeon
I only “liked” this to thank you for posting this. I feel kind of sick right now…
Oh, I know the feeling, believe me. This is garbage on an epic scale even from Pearson, and Pearson is like one of the top five most evil companies on Earth.
This is utter f***ing BULLSHIT!! The depersonalization of education and the next step to the cookie cutter school depicted in The Wall.
I suppose the teachers were making too much fuss about Pearson’s standardized testing protocol, so the solution is to have only Pearson approved teachers.
Everything I see makes me more and more glad that I left. It makes me want to hurl, both the contents of my stomach, and very large explosive objects.
Yes, likewise, just liking to note appreciation for your posting. And awe that we’re really at the point where being a teacher is even more penalized.
I too only liked the post in solidarity to say something like, “I have a bad feeling about this”. Not that it is surprising considering they are trying to corner the testing markets as is, why not this? Seriously? What happens if parents say no, or it is an off day? Student teaching is hard enough…and why are they cutting out professors? That seems so counterintuitive to me but smells like a step toward corporatization and privatization of education.
Terrifying!
