My grandson in Boston was pulled out of public school directly because of the modern iteration of look-say. He is in a pretty good Catholic school now. Actually reading is not a problem for him. My daughter taught him to read, or rather, helped him teach himself to read, when he was 3 and 4 but the fact that the public primary school was not teaching reading caused my son-in-law to investigate further and discovered that not much of anything recognizable as academic subjects was being taught. Not being child abusers, they pulled the boy out.
Just putting one's child in a parochial school is not enough, though. One has to be diligent even there. Many parochial schools are not much different from public schools, and while they do tend to actually teach kids to read they may also be teaching much of the social engineering crap that public schools exist to impart.
