I worry about the teachers that teach this class only as a half a section. They need to focus on the main subject are that they teach and are not fully aware of the reading curriculum. Not their fault...they are just spread too thin. It is hard to know both curriculums inside and out when you teach more than one. One of the subjects is going to suffer. We need to try to eliminate teachers teaching more than one subject at the Middle School level. Teachers need to be experts in their field and this is not possible in the system we currently have. |

| 4. | 3/19/2008 5:41:00 PM | Of course, reading is key to all areas of education but ignoring science isn't helping our students prepare for the "real world" either. |
| 5. | 3/19/2008 7:20:00 PM | Important to do, but is it necessary to write it as a strategic plan goal?!? |
| 6. | 3/20/2008 3:18:00 AM | But we need real life inservicing. Not the "on a perfect day, with the perfect class, and all the time in the world," workshops |
| 7. | 3/20/2008 1:48:00 PM | The ability to follow ditrctions is extremely important to allemployers, and if they can't read ?????? |
