[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone summarize the pros or cons for this new English curriculum? [/quote] Pro: nearly all children will learn to read Con: many teachers will need a lot of re-training on how to teach reading correctly. For past 20 years, many education schools have been pushing Balanced Literacy / Whole Language, which are methods shown not to work. So we gave at least one generation of teachers who were mis-taught in college. This retraining is the tricky bit. Expect the early results to be uneven as a direct result. [/quote]
