Everything I've read and heard since I retired is that education has gotten more lock step, even to the extent of wanting teachers on literally the same paper day by day. I could never teach like that. When I taught 1st and 2nd grade I had great success teaching kids to read. We did a couple of big plays per year right before Winter Break and summer vacation. I wrote my own scrips for material like Annie, The Wizard of OZ, Snow White and we used the scripts as our reading material. I don't know if I could even do that now.
