Marlo Rosenthal
Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Currently work as a teacher for young special needs children at a non-profit agency. Know lots of teachers who struggle to maintain integrity, energy and passion despite the low pay, teach-to-the-test limitations and next to impossible demands put on them to give quality learning in an environment that doesn't care.

Marlo commented on the article |I agree with the first poster, as an educator working for an agency. The money plays a paramount importance, in how we are expected to teach children with limited support and staff, in addition to the pressure to make it "look good".

Marlo commented on the article |There is such a wide discrepancy between how discussion is written in blogs such as this and the way young adults and teens write essays for standardized tests, communicate to each other, as well as communicate in other online discussion groups and "post comments". I've looked at my son's text books for English and what's offered is as drab and uninspirational as textbook work from the 1950's and '60's. No relevancy or substance to ignite interest or passion anywhere. No wonder the kids get bored and hide in online gaming.
