On Monday I was required to attend what is called Professional Development by the education crowd. This year they had a new name for it, PD. They may have used it before but I wasn’t listening. It is new to me. It is new to you. If you hear someone talking about PD think of a group of public employees sitting around drinking coffee, collaborating, eating bagels because donuts are so old school, sharing out, writing on newsprint stuck to the wall, taking a lunch break and planning the future of your children. All of this is done with tax dollars that you paid to the federal government.
There is an expression that I am hearing repeatedly. I heard it at a meeting several months ago and thought it was the confused rambling of a school district administrator. It seems to be the going concept for Common Core Curriculum (CCC). Only educators would come up with a saying as silly as “we are building the airplane as we learn to fly it.” I don’t know about you but I would not fly on an airline that had that as a slogan.
The future of your children in in the hands of these people.
