Yes, let’s be clear. Anyone can view the C-NET tape to see if I misrepresented the teacher’s opening comment or her general impressions of Investigations, which I characterized as “mixed feelings” in my original post. I don’t see how what I wrote implies that this teacher is “against Investigations 2″.

I am grateful that this teacher had the courage to say what she said at the meeting. Given that she e-mailed me later to thank me for writing something similar in an e-mail to the Committee, I doubt that she believes I misrepresented her views.

I do not believe it is useful or fair to put this specific teacher on the spot any more than she is already. The point of my post was to call for an anonymous survey of teachers in order to get the most honest opinions. Can you offer a serious counterargument to this?

The District has gone ahead with a non-anonymous survey of teachers re Investigations 2 and, as you know from a report to the Committee, the early indications are that much of the feedback is negative. Shouldn’t this increase our interest in knowing what teachers say about Investigations when they are not reporting it face-to-face to their bosses?

I agree, that it is absolutely critical that SCASD Leadership make the survey anonymous.
