I attended Back to School Night at my children’s school. I went into the science classroom eager to meet the teacher and to discover how she would be inspiring her students to love science and nature.
I departed in sorrow. The science teacher is also the social studies teacher. She happens to know there is very little science on the standardized test for this grade level, so she won’t be focusing too much on it.
If this is the sentiment of educators in a magnet school whose students were accepted for admission based on their above-average aptitudes, how could I hope it is any better in general population schools?
I knew there was much grumbling about ‘teaching to the test,’ but I could not have imagined that educators would forsake their higher mission. I have never met a person who said “I wanted to be a teacher so I can encourage learners to learn only what they must to get by.”
The pragmatist in me wants to scrutinize the curricula of social studies, and other subjects, to find areas where science overlaps in order to argue the importance of teaching science. I want to find the research articles that demonstrate that students with a solid science education score higher on those tests in other subject areas as well. I need to prove that programming at the nature park is worthwhile. I need to demonstrate why I – the natural science interpreter – am relevant to society. But, I can’t help but feel sad that I must show these things to – of all people – professional educators.
I wish the schools had the courage to put those standardized tests in their place and get back to the business of exposing young minds to existing knowledge and encouraging them to explore and make new discoveries.
I got an infection called HSV2 in my eye and mouth from semen. It was a big surprise because I didn't know it could spread that way. I had a lot of pain and a rash in my right eye and mouth for two weeks. I thought it might be herpes, so I got tested and found out I had HSV2.
ReplyDeleteI started taking lysine and other supplements, but not valtrex because I heard it could make my outbreaks worse if I stopped taking it. After a month, I also used eye drops, painkillers, and other treatments to prevent blindness. I tried everything I could for two years, but nothing really helped. I was worried about losing my eyesight and hearing because I heard herpes can spread from the eye to the ears.
The thought of losing my eye and hearing was really scary, and it was starting to affect my mental health. I tried to stay positive and went to seminars and other events to help my mental health. One day, someone I called Godsent saw my sores and realized they were herpes. She told me about a herbal cure called Dr Utu Herbal Cure that had helped her when she was in a similar situation. She gave me Dr. Utu email address:
drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
I wrote to Dr. Utu, and he told me his treatment would get rid of the herpes forever. I decided to try it because I was so worried about my mental health. He gave me a four week herbal treatment plan, and after following it, I felt better. I got tested again to make sure, and the results were negative. Now I can live my life without worrying about losing my eyesight or hearing.
I no longer feel depressed or anxious, and I'm really happy with Dr. Utu's Herbal Cure. It has helped me get my life back
