You are so right. People don’t know what their kids aren’t being taught. All “whole word” does is provide employment for remedial reading teachers. The so-called schools of education at our universities should be burned down.

My cousin teaches fifth grade, and she's so angry that she is NOT "allowed" to document the failure of a student, because of the student's failure to pay attention in class, do homework, or even attend class.
She says the administration won't allow her to document that the student has no interest in school, and won't put forth any effort at all.
She can't discipline a student, she can only send them to the principle's office for disrupting the class.
She says that she's had enough!
She's retiring at 25 years of service at the age of 53, and her pension will be about $1,800 per month.
