Teachers teach what they want in the classroom. Sure there is a curriculum. But teachers can emphasize what they want. If a teacher is dealing with a brighter bunch, he can get more advanced. If a teacher is dealing with a slower bunch, you backtrack and focus more time filling in the gaps. It is in a way like acting: there's a script and. then there's how the actors take off from the basic script. I would teach youngsters how to study, how to go about finding a solution when they don't know. Empowering youngsters is teaching them how to learn on their own. There is a lot of leeway in terms of what you teach youngsters and how fast or slow you go. I am retired from that gig, been retired as a private tutor for 8 years and a HS Math teacher since 1989.

Teacher unions are liberal, but the teachers themselves are mostly conservative; that has been my experience working for the NYC board of Ed for 7.5 years. It is the administrators who run the unions that are liberal. The teachers do not like the administrators because they have been out of the classroom for so long that they have become abstractions and have no idea what is going on in classrooms and what makes learning happen in the classroom. Department of Education is the epitome of abstraction. Any material that comes from the DOE is ripped up immediately by most teachers and not read. DOE needs to be totally shredded.
