If that’s true ... they will regret that move.
One of my friends, a high school assistant superintendent was on a Harvard "think tank" on the teaching of reading.
What a pathetic, ignorant "think tank" it was.
It took my best friend (a retired mechanical engineer, among many other things) several years to de-program him.
Part of that was him testing our 3rd grade at the time home schooled daughter for reading.
He was shocked to find her reading and comprehending at the "2nd year college level or above."
I told him we didn't prove my daughter was a good reader.
We proved our nation is in deep crap.
What finally finished getting through to him was his computer problems.
He has 2 PhDs, but does poorly with computers.
My other friend asked him why he didn't just read up on the subject.
He said he couldn't, he had to be taught.
My friend exploded at him.... "It's because you never learned phonics and can't figure out words you are unfamiliar with.
Many of the highly educated ignorant fools from Harvard know so little, they don't know what they don't know.
Probably just as bad at Yale, Columbia, etc.
