@BenCarrollMP Ben ask John how many kids don't know their times tables.

@edutopia Great for the kids that discover it, not good for kids that do not!!!!!

@phonicbooks @ParkerPhonics Kids do confuse letter names and sounds. Half spelling, half decoding, sounds like balanced literacy both need to be taught directly and explicitly.

I love freedom. Who doesn't love freedom? I want freedom from being amongst the over 4 million official (and likely 10 million actual) COVID deaths globally. And freedom from being amongst the over 13 million current active cases. Or millions of current Long COVID cases. 1/

Thank you for following me @literacy_summit. Back in 2014, my friend & colleague Fiona Nevola gave a presentation to the summit. Here's her short intro. clip https://t.co/wPEbwFBopz

Probably best to know what you’re talking about before you call something ‘everything that is rotten about education.’

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

The problem is not people being uneducated.
The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught. 🧠

@FaithBorkowsky Thanks, Faith. Agree. It's a lovely idea and it would be wonderful if just reading to children our surrounding them with books was enough... it's a damaging notion when some give the impression this is easily accessible for all without proper teaching.

@calclugston @buckingham_j Inquiry learning is one size fits all when it is used regardless of whether the learning objectives are biologically primary or secondary and regardless of whether the students are novices or experts.

@alfiekohn Most of the best teachers I had were the center of attention.

Well this is exciting... but my mind immediately goes to whether Calkins is looking to cash in on this shift towards decoding. Lots of quality programs already available, and which don’t have a legacy of three cueing and whole language. https://t.co/TvtKWfgmzA

People are gonna have to accept that education improvement is an interdisciplinary field and that teachers view knowledge from experts in related fields as helpful and empowering.
