@30dgrs Do you think parents resort to tutoring because they like pissing their money up the wall for shits and giggles! If Ts were better supported and were taught to teach children properly, then parents wouldn't have to be the arseholes that save their child from a failed system.

Imagine being in HS and not being able to read and write beyond that of a 7yr old. Its humiliating It didnt have to be this way. A simple #PhonicsCheck would have ID my son early. Its not only an Ed prob its now a MH prob! @DanTehanWannon @JohnGardnerMP @susan_close @GregHuntMP

@DavidWray Perhaps you missed this research @PamelaSnow2 has done on “...early literacy and teacher education” ? People may be free to believe whoever they want, but if they want the best outcomes for learners they should follow the evidence https://t.co/KCeL99y83a https://t.co/KzuYtMoTWF
