[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if you want to feel totally frustrated and depressed about how reading curriculum in this country changed to whole language/cueing/balanced literacy that had no science and was really developed for poor readers as a last ditch effort- you should listen to this podcast. [b]The reporting is fantastic[/b] and there are times you will want to punch some of these smug authors who made a ton off a useless approach to reading. And, some of the teachers who fell for it because they had never been taught anything else just shows [b]how messed up our public education system is[/b]. Also, poor George W Bush tried to make the right move to phonics and got bamboozled by lobbyists.

I disagree as the reporter doesn’t talk at all about broader issues in public education at least not in any released episodes.
She also doesn’t seem to understand that the reading wars have been happening long before the 1960s.  Because of those flaws, I wouldn’t call it great reporting.
