TeachTown is Scamming Special Needs Children United States
TeachTown curriculum company is misleading school districts to sell their curriculum products.
1. Numerous studies have shown that learning from a screen is not as effective for children as learning from tangible materials. (https://www.govtech.com/education/k-12/books-vs-screens-what-does-the-latest-research-say)
2. The only two published studies done on TeachTown showed that it's not an effective curriculum; in fact in the largest study done, the students on TeachTown had worse language scores at the end of the year compared to the control group of students. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6996249/)
3. TeachTown makes extremely lofty claims on their website such as: "After 1 year on TeachTown, 100% of students were able to push into gen ed for part of the day!" However they refuse to actually publish their studies for peer review.
4. After reviewing their Basics curriculum, it's objectively terrible. It's riddled with grammatical errors and very confusing questions.
