I have lots of people in my facebook feed talking a lot of negativity about CCSS and it gets me so irritated, especially when they don't do their research and just complain for the sake of complaining. Like you said, the new standards aren't perfect, but they are a step in the right direction. Hopefully the general public will come around sooner or later, but it's always hard because I feel like people think they know what it's like to teach since they went to public school. Anyways, love your explanation!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181911443250232670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3317612215988873824.post-21406107595080910672014-03-27T10:54:57.440-07:002014-03-27T10:54:57.440-07:00Yes! Annie, you were the first person I thought of...Yes! Annie, you were the first person I thought of when I saw this originally on Facebook. Your explanation is so good and speak to understanding what you are doing and not just using rote "tricks." To any nurse out there reading this, I would compare to the process that we went through in college of writing care plans. These could easily take us 12 hours per patient. We went through this long process over and over again so that when we started to work in the "real world" we had this thinking, processing behind us. We understood, so we could then in nearly a heartbeat apply a complex process to our patients. Toni Pestrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00702088460517856018noreply@blogger.com
