I agree. Children and adults learn by doing. But all the programs at
my school are so teacher-centered. (We don't teach
standards/curriculumn/objectives, we have "programs" we have to stick
to like glue.) The experts from the programs tell us to do a lot of
modeling. Well, if the kids aren't doing most of the work, they aren't
learning and it's not at their level. But we are forced to teach the
programs the district spends millions on. It's like living on a
hampster wheel, only we can't hop off.

I also agree it's all about family values, not money/race/religion. I
wish school could be a choice, but could you imagine all the kids who
would wander the streets all day? Sadly, we need schools to be holding
tanks.
