Hi, Your article spurs up an interesting point. Fads…You are right. I have not been teaching for a long time, but I have noticed, a scurry toward following fads, and I must add that in California, we are big on that. It’s not so much that we want to constantly improve how we implement education, but more-so that we need to keep up with the trends-this is what it’s come to. How we teach is more of a competition between the different schools’ test scores. Education is not about teaching students, but how the students score on their tests. Sadly enough, a lot of our kids are suffering educationally. The thing that bothers me in all of this is that slowly we have become more chaotically focused on repairing education for the system’s sake, while at the same time stripping away how we teach to individual students. We have replaced our aim to successfully teach students for understanding and meaning; with what I call the cookie cutter model, and to me this does not work. In essence, I think fads are ok if they are aimed for the good of steering kids in the right direction and adding to the learning experience, and not aimed at satisfying the political pallette of the educational systems’s ego.
