Worst To First
In a recent Jacksonville Times guest column article, Chris Guerrieri, a teacher at a Duval County high school, shares his opinion about why he believes some of his students feel frustrated and let down by Florida's current approach to education. According to Mr. Guerrieri, our education system promotes a "one size fits all" philosophy, where instead of playing into students strengths, an approach he believes would almost certainly ensure student success, the system forces kids into a single all inclusive curriculum-based school experience.
Does this particular methodology put students and schools in a "no win" situation, like Mr. Guerrieri writes, where pressure to perform is a constant and where a school's adequate yearly progress is the goal?
