Over on the science wing we have heard virtually the same set of complaints, in large part, to set the stage for the next edu-savior: NGSS! The majority of the blame has been placed on imaginary science teachers who only require the memorization of definitions and (always) “disconnected” facts. Science teachers so in love with meaningless minutiae that they can’t even find real world examples that make their subject interesting and appealing to their students. Science teachers that never ask their kids to think like a scientist. My god if only someone told me 30+ years ago that I could teach like a champion I would have stopped photocopying the mimeographed T/F tests I wrote in 1987. And thanks to the new NextGen science standards kids with be learning science that is one mm wide and deeper than project Mohole.
