So I wanted to write CCC beacuase I love acronyms and the Civilian Conservation Core....but I can't help but wonder and think about discovery. I don't really feel any discover in these standards -- even though they seem to be pretty broad and I have a little chart which puts them side by side with the MI HS content expectations -- "The Huskies....as my colleagues like to say...."
Anyway, back to discovery -- I think that we may be treating English Language Arts too much as a catch-all (speaking, multi-media, etc.... ) as well as too seriously. I can't really say what I fully mean by the idea of taking it too seriously, but I think that we need to begin to learn to learn again. Less focus on subject area and more on learning -- I want to open a Socratic institute.... Hmm.... But can it work for the jaded kid who has already been taught to hate school?
