Such a strange hot take. Makes me wonder if I should ask folks what they think the purpose of school is before asking them opinions about school.
Definitely should. I think you’d find that most parents have taught their kid to read before entering K. Most kids in our school are reading at 2nd/3rd grade level when they enter school. Maybe it matters more elsewhere, but the difference between using context clues vs. phonics vs. whatever else is the choice de jeur for best reading curriculum doesn’t really matter to many cohorts.
Oh enough with this Lake Wobegon fantasy. There are a substantial number of children who will struggle with reading even if they have the kind of parents who do everything right. School exists to teach kids reading and math. That's it. Everything else is fluff. The fact that so many schools, private and public, fail at this should be very concerning to all.
