Don’t be fooled by reassur­ances that students are learning “phonics in context” or as a “balanced literacy” diet. Both are euphemisms for a non-systematic, non-evidence-based approach. My article in the Weekend Australian today: https://t.co/zWqqCUVaZd

1. Here's my write-up on the big 6th Circuit decision in the Detroit "right to literacy" case. The ruling challenges decades of reluctance from the Supreme Court to declare that children have the Constitutional right to a good education. https://t.co/P5k5f0zNv7

“A 2017 national survey by the organization Learning Heroes found that nine in 10 parents think their children are performing at or above grade level in math and reading, while results from the NAEP show that just one in three 8th-graders meets that bar.”
