Amazing how you have penned a 9-minute read with so little information. I would prefer a concise five-paragraph version of it.

Basically, pedagogy is a forgotten art in American education schools, replaced with either administrative topics about tests, measurements, organization, or vacuous courses about equity and social justice. Pedagogy, what you call “method”, is all but left aside. What is the point of an ed school then? What is the point of teacher certification, if teachers have to devise their own curricula and pedagogy? This is idiocy, this says enough about the education system in the U.S.

Regarding the notion that every ELA teacher must be a writer, yes, to a degree. But ultimately grade school is about being able to read someone’s notes and being able to construct reasonable text be it a CV or an accident report. Beyond that, it is up to individual’s desire to become a writer, and it is outside a school teacher’s task.
