[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG, can lefties not make phonics a right-coded thing? We know phonics works to reach kids to read. Please use it. [/quote]

But the fact remains:

- phonics were demonized by just one of our two political parties:  the democrats.  Schools were pushed to abandon phonics (and replace it with Lucy Calkins or before that, “whole language”), by progressive democrats.

You cannot just erase the mistakes of the past just because they are inconvenient for your currently-chosen party affiliation.[/quote]

I'm conservative and send my kids to a conservative Catholic school where it's unlikely you'd find a single parent who voted for Harris. I do not care who was responsible for coming up with the stupid teaching methods of the past and I don't think we need to assign blame. At this point we just need to move forward with phonics. It's not a Republican or a Democratic thing. It's about making sure our society as a whole continues to prosper. Reading is fundamental. [/quote]
