My world of teaching is the whole world, and the comment about the constraints of No Child Left Behind are often the excuse, or the teacher's comment on anything that is innovative, creative, international or interesting.
I did a conference presentation on science from NASA and the teachers thought it was very interesting but they said that teaching the test has become the number one priority and that supportive further teaching sucks the time away. Therefore no added resources, no interesting international collaborations. I get a lot of email off of the site about the fact that , oh this would be so wonderful to do, but my school is in lockstep to all kinds of testing and that is about all. The sad thing is that we are also learning about the lack of teaching in science, math, technology and engineering and there is a national mandate that is being pushed. But .. I guess we have our heads in the sance.
