Too many letters in the Chicago alphabet, apparently.

Have you ever tried to learn good grammar from a teacher that only spoke ebonics?

—— What is so hard about learning how to read?——

Nothing. Both my daughters learned how to read in a total of ten hours of instruction at age 4.5. (15,minutes a day for a month.). Apparently, they were a bit behind the curve for homeschoolers.

There’s money to be made in dragging out the process. What a friggin’ joke.

Chicago was the test system for Whole Language/ Sight and Say and nearly 20 years ago they PROVED that it was possible to Deliberately Dumb Down the entire city's student population in just a few years.

A nation of functional illiterates is easily controlled. That is the goal of Progressive education and it has proved a success.

Read Charlotte Iserbyts book titled THE DELIBERATE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA. It's on line to download.A new updated version is available at Amazon.

These Progressive educators should be held criminally liable for the damage they have done.

It might be that most kids these days spend most of their time texting on their phones or in chat rooms on their computers and believe that the writing style used their is the proper usage of English.

i.e. "nuff bout dat"
