Keeping up with curriculum
What a hot topic! I am trying desperately to keep up with the curriculum set forth by not only my charter school curriculum but making sure I cover all of topics necessary to have the students meet the GLCE for Michigan. It seems like I might be able to cover half of the material by year's end! Sure I can cover the curriculum but what justice am I doing if I am not making sure they understand it? Shouldn't I make sure they know the topic thoroughly before moving on? Should I skim the topics to get them all in or cover fewer topics with in depth knowledge?

That really puts teachers in a dilemma. You make a good point, you can cover all topics. However, how much is resonating with the students. It seems to get more and more difficult and getting extremely hard to balance. Ugh.
