thank you
By Tony Mooney
Dear CScope,

Thank you.
Thank you for teaching my son fear.
Fear of failure.
Fear of testing.
Fear of his teachers and school.
Fear of society.
Fear of his peers and their impressions.
Fear to be himself.
And most of all, fear of learning.

Cscope, you have truly performed your task of differentiating kids to the point that they segregate themselves in the classroom as well as outside the classroom.
Kids no longer strive to achieve but instead strive to “get past the test”.
And yet, once the testing is done and they think they can breathe, they get loaded down with all the projects that couldn’t be done during the year due to all the assessments and teaching to the test.

Thank you for the sleepless nights due to stress.

Thank you for the tension headaches in an 11-year old child.

Thank you for the pervasive fear of failure and the belief that they are nothing if they don’t pass that test.

Thank you for the systematic destruction of self-confidence and happiness.

Thank you for the half-baked lessons and poorly worded questions.

Thank you for slowly killing the desire to learn new things.

Oh, and Cscope, I must tell you, because you are an inadequate learning tool created by idiots, foisted on us by buffoons and supported by cretins, I am being sarcastic, facetious and disengenuous. I apologize for using words your creators don’t understand but that’s what happens when you are taught to think and not regurgitate.

And tell your twin brother, TASB iCloud, you can put lipstick on a pig but…well, why finish it, when I doubt you understand.

TEACHER THANKS CSCOPE CRITICS

TEACHERS HAVE LOST THEIR VOICE WHEN FIGHTING CSCOPE…. I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING FROM A  CSCOPE TEACHER.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I do not know what control this thing has over superintendents, but    it’s a scary thing! Prior to the hiring of our supt., we had district curriculum consultants who with teachers’ assistance, developed curriculum calendars for all subjects. Our ELA scores were amazing! And then the current supt rolls in. Cscope is the bible, Cscope is the National Archives, Cscope is everything a teacher needs….if you listen to the supt. Countless meetings have been held with the assistant supt. to share concerns but to no avail.
I have gone from a teacher having the confidence that I could accomplish anything in the classroom to a teacher that hasn’t known which end is up. Metaphors are our mantra…a ship without a rudder, a kite without a string, a compass without a needle.
How sad that education in our district wears the mask of deceit. I just wish that sanity could return to our classrooms.
Thank you so much for your continued work in exposing Cscope for what it is. Isn’t it interesting that this conflict has never been experienced over a textbook adoption?
