Ugh this language. "X is what it means to read on a 3rd grade level" is police state language. Hands up, you aren't conforming/assimilating/being you the right way

I've got to agree with Aankit here. Every student must know X at 3rd grade lines up well with "the standards" and testing but is very much against meeting the students where they are and the fact that kids come in and progress at different paces.

It totally ignores why we read. Shouldn't we start with the why? Let kids decide how and what since it's their life?

We should start with learning how to read: https://www.apmreports.org/story/2018/09/10/hard-words-why-american-kids-arent-being-taught-to-read …

This is long and I still feel like you're missing the point. It's not exactly what or how we teach kids. My argument is about values and he we structure our thinking. When we let data and results live at the core of our beliefs, we lose our humanity

@hadip this is point I'm trying to make

It’s possible in 30 years we may not have “grades” - neither 1st..12th nor A..F. Both are constructs from a pre-tech age, and may disappear as schools shift towards teaching creativity instead of rote memorization, and learning becomes more personalized.

Ugh now this conversation is all white and white adjacent men. We suck.
