[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that “balanced literacy” was deep throughout education. Teachers didn’t learn “science of reading” until recently. So there is a generation of teachers (or more) who were never taught that. [/quote] True but parents realized the problem as did many professionals but Murphy would not budge. Credit to Duran for ending it and embracing science of reading. [/quote] I think most of the parents who don't like Duran are parents of young kids or parents who just engaged and have no idea how much better Duran is compared to Murphy. Duran isn't perfect and I don't agree with all that he's done, but he's made some really good changes and we could do a whole lot worse. [/quote] +1 He started at a terrible time. Imagine starting a job during all of that. He’s been thoughtful and a great communicator. Not perfect but 10000% better than the last guy. [/quote]
