[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn’t we recently have a post about a specific method of reading (sorry, I can’t remember the name) that didn’t include sounding out letters (phonics)? The school administrators, who make curriculum decisions, should be held accountable.[/quote] In many districts those decisions are made much higher up than administrators at schools. Many people who work in district headquarters have very little teaching experience in a classroom. They aren’t experts at all. It trickles down and by the time teachers get the new curriculum, they are in shock that it’s total crap. All of those years of balanced literacy was flat out educational fraud that started because people with very little knowledge were sold a fancy sounding curriculum that included little or no phonics.
