And for two decades conservatives have been telling them that fact.
It's amazing the things liberals are now learning when they ignored the advice of those that repeatedly told them years ago that their method just would not work. "We know better", they said. Well, apparently not.
Yes. But are they going to make it even worse?
“We have always been at war with [teaching reading wrong]... now, five minutes of Hate Whitey”
Somehow it’s a mystery why students in major cities’ schools can’t read...can’t add...can’t tell you why 1776 is important.
Reading be white, yo!
So what method is “scientifically proven” that will be used to teach written English as hieroglyphics? Hell by now all the teachers learned to read (somewhat by Look-sa7 and Whole Word and other methods that essentially use whole words as symbols to be learned by shape of the word. How are the functionally illiterate teachers going to teach reading?
See Bob run. Bob is now a transvestite and identifies as a female and is named Clara. See Clara run. Spot the dog is not a dog anymore but identifies as an armadillo named Ed.
“It’s amazing the things liberals are now learning when they ignored the advice of those that repeatedly told them years ago that their method just would not work.”
By whose standards? From what I can see, their methods worked JUST FINE, when viewed in the context of the Left wanting to take this country down a few notches (making them far more likely to vote for big government).
The IDIOTS are the conservatives on our side, people who actually thought that the Leftists running education actually wanted American kids to learn, and so left them in power.
And my guess is that the majority of conservatives STILL think the same, or those big yellow school buses that I see where I live would be FAR EMPTIER, as I live in a Bright Red area.
ROTFLMAO !!!!!!
Most 12 year old's could teach a six year old to read.
The public schools have to work hard and spend millions to prevent children from learning to read.
Fine, but I do wish that I could trust them.
Above is the one that includes phonics.
Do the other two possibilites?
In Ha Noi, Viet Nam the Communist Party elites spend their own personal money on their kids getting American English Phonics skills. Now why would they do that?
They considered phonics as too old fashioned. They had to have something new.
Ditto math.
If education majors decide to teach kids how to breathe they would kill them all. Can you imagine classrooms full of half dead kids gasping for air.
Yes, my good FRiend.
Fuzzy math and sight reading have handicapped so very many students. It's more than just a shame.
Paging “The Gods of the Copybook Headings….”

Your wish is my command.
Try teaching phonics, phonetics, vocabulary , punctuation, writing and penmanship, printing and cursive, verbs and conjugation, grammar and rhetoric, perhaps? Require 7 book reports on Summer reading lists. I know it works.
It’s a cyclic thing going much farther back than “a couple decades.” WHY JOHNNY CAN’T READ by Rudolf Fleisch was a big best-seller book of 1955 on exactly the same topic.
