There is no intervention that can get us out of the reading crisis we are in, but there are interventions with proven effectiveness. Continued use of RR is just irresponsible and not data-based.

A big problem / teacher shortages is that we have larger class sizes. Which places a larger burden on teachers who are there. It would be like a Dr who sees 20 patients a day, now serving 40 or 60 and for the price of 20. It greatly reduces time and attention each one gets too

More than half a million Colorado students won't go to school Wednesday because of a threat to Denver-area schools. That might not fit the dictionary definition of terrorism but the word seems to fit. #9NEWS
