Rogers Public Schools is changing its curriculum. Yup, that's it. That's about all we know about this subject. Let's hope they do a better job teaching their students than informing the public.
For the sake of disclosure, we are not sure whether to blame the school district or reporter Caleb Fort. In the district's defense, all we have is what Fort told us in his story. The district is removing three courses, and Fort lists three. The district is changing 29 courses, and Fort lists two. The district is adding seven courses, and Fort lists one. And the reasons behind the changes are vague and uninformative.
But in Fort's defense, the district hasn't gone out of its way, at all, to tell people about these changes. The school board approved the measure Tuesday, but the public was hardly prepared to discuss proposed changes intelligently. If it wanted to let people know what was going on, wouldn't the best place be on the district's Web site? But there isn't even a meeting agenda available online.
In education terms, the district taught us addition today when the calculus test was yesterday.
Happy learning.
