[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t work and the achievement gap doesn’t close.

The result is this: rich parents send their kids to private school, some middle income families  stretch themselves to go to private and the rest stay in public and continue to succeed and it’s even easier bc the bar is now a little lower. Low income, ESL, and all other students who were very behind continue to be get left behind and the achievement gap doesn’t get any closer to closing …

If schools were serious about closing achievement gaps they would poor resources and money into teaching kids phonics and then  screening for dyslexia and providing the appropriate remediation. A kid being able to read at grade level every year consistently would do more to close the achievement gap than any equity initiative ever will ….[/quote]

I don’t see how we get appropriate remediation in public school for dyslexia. 
Wilson is the gold standard and requires 30 mins , 3 times a week, 1 on 1. [b]Now understand that approximately 10-20% of the student population in the US needs that.[/b]
We are not prepared to do what it takes for that. And our scores and performance will always reflect that. [/quote]

Fortunately that's false.  Approximately 2-5% of people are dyslexic and many of them figure out their own way to read.  [/quote]
