Time would be better spent teaching them how to make change and enough reading to understand street signs.
And I would bet $100 that CA has more such kids than any other state, maybe more than all other states combined.
The stupid runs very, very thick here.
Just like the brilliance.
Yin and Yang.
If a child cannot read in his or her native language it is nearly impossible to learn to read in a second language.
All part of the Marxist plan to take down the nation.
I realize people roll up their eyes when I say this, and it has cost me a lot of friendships, but illiteracy is BY DESIGN, from our ‘friends’ on the Left...and that includes our education system.
Yes, some, maybe most, of the people on the front lines, the ones we see in our schools, may well care about our kids, but parents don’t see the DECISION MAKERS, the ones that decide whether to use ‘Sight Words’ (i.e., whole language reading), or Phonics (by far the best approach).
One doesn’t have to think too long to figure out which approach the DECISION MAKERS in California has forced on their kids. Same for math.
Sadly, even here, most people think I’m full of crap saying what I do, as they continue to send their kids to public schools, even the ones with Sight Words and horrific math instruction.
That’s what the Dems want , can’t read ,can’t write , can’t count , low info voter
Cali schools need stronger teachers unions and more affirmative action teachers.
Get whitey out of Cali schools! Only then will Cali kids get the education they deserve. And screw whitey’s illiteracy test, who wants to act white anyway.
Ah, lawyers.
What would we do without them?
Just sue the CTA. They are the teachers and likely
have a better stocked piggy bank than the state.
Perhaps rather than suing the state they should consider suing the parents.
The 3 R’s.....Reading, Riting and Rithmetics.....Okay....Reading, Writing and Arithmetic’s.
The foundation of learning....at least in a carnal aspect if not spiritual.
