Re: “Ashley Elementary School in Denver reinvents itself in Common Core era,” May 24 news story.
The teachers and staff at Ashley Elementary School in Denver have certainly improved the climate and performance of many of the kids at their school, but at what cost?
Seventy-hour work weeks for teachers, no required collective bargaining for salaries and benefits, and a principal who is evidently obsessed with data. Is this really what we want the future of public schools to look like?
