@TiredBambooLaw Making us hang up Ten Commandment posters in our classroom gives the game away to what this really is.
@carlrosin @JoshPhillipsPhD @DStrungk making me hang a Ten Commandments poster in the classroom, crow about values and morals and bringing God back into school, and whipping up false uproar about Muslims in the state. This is not about background knowledge. This is about control.
@carlrosin @JoshPhillipsPhD @DStrungk Whichever way I do it will be the wrong way for someone, I guarantee it. And while I think it's a good and necessary thing to teach the Bible as literature, it is another thing entirely for the state to mandate specific passages and translations of the Bible while also...
@iluvektar100 Have you ever looked into selling these as actual postcards? I would snap these up in a second to send them to folks.
@rodjnaquin There’s a lot of wisdom in this. However, I would like to see what you have created that cannot be completed with AI. As a once lazy student, I haven’t seen many (if any) tasks that I could not have worked around.
@MelK_Ed @hilarym99 @smorrisey @CurriculumIP I agree!
@hilarym99 @smorrisey @MelK_Ed @CurriculumIP This is a problem a lot of the discourse ignores. Assigning reading is easy. Making sure they actually read what I assigned is incredibly difficult. Lots of students ignore it entirely and lots fake read (ask friends, spark notes, AI, etc.)
@Sarah4Texas @jamesdickey Only one of those made the cut for the mandated reading list. Easy to clap for classics. But this reading list will remove 3/4 you listed as there won't be time to teach them. Worth considering why the others didn't make the cut.
@carlrosin @AmericanGwyn The power of that book at getting students who don't read to actually sit down and read is unrivaled.
@eduleadership Can you point me to a state that has mandated even 50% of it's high school ELA curriculum? You're posts read as if this is a normal thing to do. It shocks me.
@eduleadership How much do you think students should have to read outside of class? As is, they do little if any. What should schools do to make them? How long do you thing it should take to read Great Expectations as a class? Those aren't rhetorical questions.
@eduleadership Oddly, I am pushing back against this mandate because I believe so strongly in books and literature. I appreciate you for doing what you can for knowledge building and literacy across the board. I'd just take what Texas is doing with a few tons of salt.
@eduleadership My school has taught 1984 for seniors for the past 30 years. That is our canon. Texas blowing that up so they are forced to read Pride and Prejudice? That's not a worthy project for the legislature. If they wanted books and knowledge in schools, there are better ways to do it.
@eduleadership I don't trust state politicians to declare what books are worth reading and what books are not. Has any state up until now declared a canon by law? Would you trust a progressive state's canon if it excluded all of Shakespeare? They have the power to do it. Doesn't make it wise.
@eduleadership Why trust Texas politicians with the creation of a canon? Especially when they showed you their first draft. 1984 not in the canon? Lord of the Flies? Romeo and Juliet? No Emerson? No Twain?
@eduleadership I'm not saying school shouldn't teach content. They must. We agree on that. And I broadly agree with the idea of a canon. You're saying that Texas politicians are not trying to codify values and morals with a mandated K-12 curriculum. They very much are.
