[quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read the comments (sorry!) but a message for liberals: I am one of you, I promise. But the approach to education that has been branded “conservative” is the approach most backed by cognitive science and ultimately the best approach for racial and socioeconomic equity. Please read The Knowledge Gap ( I’m not a fan of the author tbh but it’s important to grapple with the content), Why Don’t Students Like School, and basic principles of the science of learning. Something else noteworthy is that “balanced literacy” was a darling of a lot of white liberals, but as Arlington reading scores plummeted, the Arlington NAACP pushed to get phonics back in the classroom, especially because the bad impact of balanced literacy disproportionately hurt black students. They are still pushing for better teacher training for teachers who have been trained primarily in Lucy Calkins reading. Okay, getting off my soapbox now. [/quote]
