"Rudolf Flesch in 1955,..... in his famous book, "Why Johnny Can't Read."Guys, Putting this 9/10ths of a billion into the black hole we call education today that is being run by the same old blown out retread failures is guaranteed to produce another failure. I understand that one definition of insanity is to do the same thing over, and over, and over again, and then repeat it yet another time and expect a different outcome. What passes for education today is EVIL, and it IS deliberately being done by and under the "benevolent" watchful eyes of the educational commune-ity. Peace and love, George."The teaching of reading all over the United States, in all the schools, in all the textbooks is totally wrong and flies in the face of all logic and common sense," wrote Flesch."
==============Under the new Reading First Initiative, the federal government will spend $900 million in 2002 to restore phonics to the schools. Will it succeed? Who knows? And if it succeeds, will it stop the rest of the dumbing-down agenda? I doubt it.
