Another brilliant solution to a non-existent problem.

My father learned to read. He rode a horse to school and once took his pet bobcat to class and it slept by his feet as he did his school work. That was in the 1920s and early 30s. It seems that children did just fine leaning to read by phonetically sounding out words until they became proficient. But then came the 60s and 70s. Everything that was old and boring was out and could be replaced by something 'new and improved'. A story from the UK.

A seven-year study showed that pupils at schools that taught intensive phonics instead of the official method were an average three and a half years ahead for their age in reading and one year and eight months ahead in spelling by the age of 11.

Children from disadvantaged homes did as well as those from richer backgrounds and, far from falling behind girls, the boys were 11 months ahead in reading at the age of 11 and 8.6 months ahead of them in spelling.

Not only do they have a generation of children who are far behind in reading and all the problems that comes with their struggles in other subjects, the liberal spent hundreds of millions of dollars to screw these kids up.

If it aint broke, break it, then get the rich to pay for it. Then when it doesn't work right, get the rich to pay for it to be returned to it's original condition.
