I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that this is "ideal" but not reality in most cases.  We see things as educators in preparation that we think "I will DEFINITELY do that when I'm a teacher." Yet, when it comes time and we have our own classrooms, all the "other" things that we have to do become the reality - testing, core classes, curriculum requirements, etc.  I think if we as teachers start to push back and show by doing how important some of these things are for our students, maybe administrations will start to listen.  (We can always hope?)
