Yes. But are they going to make it even worse?
Yes.
This is the beginning of a massive turnaround.
Bullcrap. They are in the business of making slaves.
The usual, nearly useless, half measure here is to go with “blended” learning by combining some phonics with the dyslexia-producing usual crap.
I'm quite sure they will. It will be some libtard garbage, you can bet on it. And they will assign books about ghetto life to make it relevant. I doubt those kids will ever turn the pages of Shakespeare, Twain, etc.
I learned how to read before I entered kindergarten.
When I started school ITA was all the rage.
I was made to write in class using phonetic spelling.
That screwed up my spelling for years.
Phonics is easier for teachers.
That’s why they teach it.
