[quote=Anonymous]On AEM, there’s someone whose son goes to a private school for kids I with disabilities (everyone has a confirmed dyslexia diagnosis, I believe). She reports how well these students do with their mode of instruction and can’t understand why it can’t be replicated in APS and achieve the same results. I *do* think changing the way reading is taught (Lucy Calkins was abysmal) is important and APS should shift to phonics-based instruction, but this lady is kidding herself if she thinks the results will be the same as those in her son’s school. You know what else the students in her school have? 100% of them have parental involvement. Class size is important, but it isn’t JUST that, or schools like Drew would have the highest reading scores. Doing well in school starts at home. Turn off the TV. Get your kid to behave.[/quote]
