@bolanostrio Yes. Even in 1st. There's trauma from covid sure. But there's educational trauma too. Teachers working conditions are students learning conditions. Teachers are broken and battered. We must read scripts with fidelity. There is no fun, no play, no learning through laughter.
@bolanostrio It is blatantly obvious that my scripted curriculum in grade 1 is designed to create test takers. Not learners. Not kids who wonder, inquire, & explore. No. Kids who can write text responses and choose multiple answer questions w accuracy. The joy has been stolen from learning.
@gos_lynn @bolanostrio Right here is the answer! I see them 9 years later and they hate any creative thinking or interactive activities because they had no formative experiences in these areas. “Just let me do the test prep activities and move back to social media consumption” is a distinct vibe.
