It is hard to win battles when the very people you think are fighting with you are not.We are asking state legislatures, the SBOE and as yet have not directed anything to TEA. Why are they not to blame? Yes the TEA has been aware of CSCOPE. Yes, the TEA has even suggested to schools to use it. If TEA doesn’t know what is being taught in schools it should. How can TEA not know what CSCOPE is all about when they have their own Nazi enforcers marching around in schools and dictating what should be taught.
When did teachers become the bottom feeders of Texas education?
Who is to blame for the database collecting information on our children?
We need to start listing the names of the people responsible for such actions.
The only thing parents can immediately do is to take their children out of public
schools. Our Texas Education State services have allowed the ESCs to create and sell CSCOPE for six years before it was made public just what was going on. WHY? Now these same public agencies who are suppose to be protecting our children‘s privacy are selling it to the highest bidders. There is not time to wait for legislatures to make bills etc….. They only function a few months every other year. IN the mean time, children are being injured. Is there the slightest possibility that because of CSCOPE many children are not learning to read. Is there the slightest possibility that these children are being diagnosed as having learning disorders when the real problem lies with their not receiving the correct instructions.
Yes, some of the TEKS are good. I trust Donna Garner and know that her evaluation of the ELAR material is good. As to the science, the TEKS are not good. Poorly written, subjective and a few are not correct. It would be better to list all the terms that need to be presented.
