I'm going to take a "Devil's advocate" approach to this article. I think that TEAMS curriculum ideas are similar to No Child Left Behind and communism. All of these ideas are great for what they are: ideas. But practically, none of these ideas work. They have great intentions, mean well, and seem able to work; however, in practical implementation they fail to meet their goals. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of the multigenre and of working with other teachers, but I am also skeptical as to whether it would work or not. I think that the teachers would have to be a well-oiled, cohesive machine for it to be successful and as a perpetual cynic I imagine that there would always be that one teacher who doesn't care, is lazy, or old and burnt out that ruins the entire effort for everyone.
