I am concerned that the thinking of states and some school boards has not changed though. Many states continue to have the same mindset as the federal government, they simply hand down mandates without asking others what is best for students. State and local control are only as local as those in charge allow it to be. A mandate should be set that students and parents need to be polled on specific needs and what is best for all. The poll then should move to teachers and administrators who should be the controlling voice at the state level. This may help develop a growth mindset as opposed to a punishment mindset currently set by some states.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
