“”How about teaching English.””
That’s what it was wayyy backkk when I was in high school. In the same school when my older siblings went, it was called ENGLISH!! Heck - even the same teacher - who would rather have fainted dead away if a topic like this had ever been suggested to her.
“”what we used to call “reading” and “writing.””
That’s funny - the old song - “reading and writing and ‘rithmetic”. I know I’m way older than you are and we called it English before someone changed it to Senior Language Arts.. Somewhere between 1950 and ‘54, the name was changed.
“”The district, which says it never approved the test, issued an apology to parents and students, the paper reported.””
Then there shouldn’t be any PAID ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE - it should be outright firing immediately.
I really don’t recall any school district ever coming out so boldly and saying they shared the parents outrage...Someone has guts in the district!
They called it “English” for a while in the 70s, too.
Yes.
Agenda agenda agenda....
