Spiraling
By Gail

I thought I was alone in the world. For 3 years I was pretty careful about saying anything to do with curriculum. I'd ask other teachers at my school and got "I love it!" or an "I'm having fun with it." Our school's only text besides trade books for reading has been one math consumable workbook. With that our principal wants absolutely no timed testing or worksheets, and wants to do away with learning some basic facts because "There will always be a calculator around..." AGAIN: ?????!!!!! Hence the spiraling math program. I think it's a crock. Let me TEACH!
Kirsten: Don't get me started on curriculum writers who have never taught in the classroom--great in theory, but not feasably applicable at all.
