More wasting of education funds in Utah, when will it ever end? This is stupid, the kids don't need forewarning of what's to come because it cannot be predicted or established. I can't believe education has gotten so off kilter that they have to control every minute of every students life. Word of mouth has always been a better distribution system of information than indoctrination and socialist demands. Besides, what can this kind of information do for the students? Nothing, it doesn't change a thing, just pays a teacher some extra money for nonsensical tax expenses to the tax payers. Education is so money fat now they can spend as much money as they want on non educations nonsenses. Talk about top heavy money pit, Utah education is the worst.

My2cents: You really don't understand education in Utah, do you?

The legislature has decided that students will have zero responsibility in K-8. Instead, they are socially promoted so we don't hurt their feel goods, even if they can't read past a 2nd grade level.

In 9-12, they NEED to earn credits to graduate. For many students, this is a very abrupt change and it causes a lot of failure and dropouts.

This is not a waste of money to those who know or DO anything about education in this state.
