“If you can crack the problem of engagement –

misperceptions about the Kindergarten show…. Although the movement toward more rigorous learning standards has been in the national news for more than

a decade, the changing face of education is beginning to feel unsettling for some people. What and how we teach is changing to meet the demands of a changing

world.

The reason for eliminating the Kindergarten show is simple. We are responsible for preparing children for college and career .…

A. Do it because it's not only fun but likely does address some curricular outcomes but you might have to look them up later. Fingers crossed.

Feel-Bad Education The Cult of Rigor and the Loss of Joy by: Alfie Kohn

I’m appearing to accept an odious premise—namely, that joy must be justified as a means to the end of better academic performance. Not so:

http://www.alfiekohn.org/teaching/edweek/feelbad.htm

It’s an end in itself.

And what do you mean by “student achievement?”

THERE IS HOPE

During the 2014-2015 school year, we sent over 120 middle school and high school students for mental health assessments; these include assessments for anxiety, depression and suicidal ideations. These were not drug and alcohol screenings; these screenings were additional. When 68 percent of high school Honors and AP students state that they are stressed “always or most of the time,” the balance is simply not there. The perpetual achievement machine continues to demand higher scores and greater success each passing year. Such pressure is like a giant “flywheel” that keeps turning and gathering speed. Unfortunately, perspective seems to be gone as we keep pushing the education system to the point where we – and, I mean the collective we (parents, teachers, and students) -- have created a system where learning takes a back-seat to academic success. The grade has become the end point, not the learning.
