Naa...I just have trouble figuring out the rationale of many, if not most, FReepers putting their own material desires above getting a decent education for their kids.

In other words, they spend hours and hours every week BLASTING the left here...just to send their kids right into their arms.

Thank you. Was not sure what you meant...

I see your points.

I do think we all should be concerned about what is being pushed in government schools—it will affect us whether we have kids in public schools or not...will affect us whether we have kids or not...because majority of kids go to government schools.

IMHO it is difficult to paint all parents with a broad brush. Each family circumstance and dynamic is different.

Glad my kids are grown—tho I am deeply concerned about grandkids :(

Re grandkids...The mom does not want to home school—perhaps because has a new baby? If not committed to it, probably best she doesn’t...I have told dad to watch the schools like a hawk. They may be good academically, however, have to watch the social propaganda stuff if send kids to public school.

I am hoping she will change her mind after baby is a bit older.

I don’t know about this sight thing, but all reading is shape recognition. No one looks at all the letters in a word as they read.

Reading , writing, and speaking are intertwined. You need the phonics to hear the sound and relate to the letter combination. Even after many decades, if I see an unfamiliar word, I break it down into syllables to sound it out. Once you become familiar with a word, you can speed up the reading seeing the whole word. You need to know the building blocks of words - letters and syllables to learn literacy.
