My daughter is currently living in Cape May doing shellfish research. Is that where you teach? She will be leaving soon to take a three month horse logging class in Maine. She has eclectic interests.

I won't, of course, I can't be bought, but I'd be flattered by the effort.<br /><br />I just want to teach science. They just want to destroy my school. We have conflicting goals, it seems....<br /><br /><br /><br />doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-26604741609638674192012-12-02T12:00:29.381-05:002012-12-02T12:00:29.381-05:00I have wondered the same thing.

When I started teaching fifteen years ago, Washington brought out their science standards to align with the state wide test. They were remarkably as bad as the released draft of the NGSS and underwent endless revisions and name changes to to point that you need a flow chart if you actually want to follow their evolution. (I don't) We are now awaiting the release of NGSS as the be all and end all. Quilbilly-Todd Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173576510643984635noreply@blogger.com
