The teachers back home that I spoke with have strong objections to K+12 but on the same breath they also expressed resignation to its inevitable implementation regardless of what they feel or say about it. It is sad to see noble professionals reduced to powerless puppets. Teachers will continue to fall victim to the whims and caprices of their leaders until they wise up and Sheila Lacanariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17855903310913044251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981145896813862235.post-47891097461858965272012-07-04T04:50:56.450-07:002012-07-04T04:50:56.450-07:00Eladio Dioko wrote, "The suspicious is that t...Eladio Dioko wrote, "The suspicious is that the sugar- coating of K+12 must have been based on the general reaction of education personnel themselves, particularly the teachers, who number almost half a million. Their culture is one of subservience to whoever calls the shots in the agency, and the latter for their part expect total obeisance to whatever initiatives they pursue."<br /><acdedioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754180388918647081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981145896813862235.post-23075363632741490762012-07-03T13:07:46.262-07:002012-07-03T13:07:46.262-07:00Teachers will continue to be overworked and underp...Teachers will continue to be overworked and underpaid until they find their collective voice - a voice united behind a common purpose, emanating from their shared experiences, free from ideological rhetoric and tempered by reason.

But how can teachers do this when they are overworked and underpaid. The teaching profession because of the poor salary and working conditions has not attracted innovative and talented people.
