I also feel that the learner's goal has indeed become to reach the standard and not necessarily connected properly with learning what's needed to be learnt.<br /><br /><b>Kia ora e Bonnie!</b><br /><br />Thanks for the <a href="http://ianthology.ning.com" rel="nofollow">link to the anthology</a>. Some great things happening there!<br /><br />Cool that you dropped by!! Here's hoping that we all get to a better place! Thanks for your well wishes! I hope you have a great New Year!<br /><br /><b>Rangimārie</b>Blogger In Middle-earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722634477041121797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107060758629396184.post-67407339576647281352009-12-20T07:54:40.029-08:002009-12-20T07:54:40.029-08:00Hi Ken,

Kevin and I have been moderating an online anthology and that's been exciting as well- http://ianthology.ning.com<br />And this is a perfect topic to return to...<br />I am also concerned about where teacher ed is going in the States. President Obama is high on charter schools and some might be good, but there's an issue of quality control and support and respect for teachers and how they are mentored and I have heard horror stories.<br />So we are in flux.<br />For now the focus has been on health care but soon we will be moving to education.<br />I hope we get to a better place, beyond "the test!<br />and<br />HAPPY HOLIDAYS!bonnie khttp://blkdrama.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107060758629396184.post-11243040700889586052009-12-19T05:05:36.572-08:002009-12-19T05:05:36.572-08:00Part of the problem in the US today is that many s...Part of the problem in the US today is that many students feel that all they need to do is get the degree. Just like many believe that all they need to do is show up in class or pass the exam.<br /><br />The fact is that the standards based education has created a generation of test takers, not problem solvers. As a result, as graduates come out of the classroom, they expect to have a high level job rather than putting their time in to learn the organization and the profession (the experience you speak of).V Yonkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910904367068063554noreply@blogger.com
