Covering the business of education and training

This guy is trying way too hard. A third grade teacher wants to encourge his class to read more by having them, well, read...to his dog, the school's official literacy dog.

"The dog doesn't judge if the kids make a mistake, so the kids relax. They sit down and read and get to play with her afterward. They relax a little bit. ... It's about getting kids excited about reading," the teacher said.

The superintendent and school board APPROVED the idea of making the dog an informal part of the school's faculty.

And, now we wonder why legitimate educators get offended when they canNOT get accepted for tenure.  Go figure!

"See dog sit. See dog look at you. Read to dog. Feel stupid."

Would you like to practice reading to a dog?
