[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If people are claiming that we had to abandon phonics (and continue to do so) because some kids are truly unable to learn to read with it because they have dyslexia or other learning disorders then this is really a justification for separating kids with disabilities from mainstream classes, at least in the beginning few years while they’re learning to read. It should never have been a justification to remove phonics and replace it with bunk to ensure that now everyone will struggle with reading in the long term, not just the dyslexics. [/quote]

Thanks for advocating discrimination!  Maybe your should have been separated in your school for bias?  Listen phonics is good for the majority of kids and essential for dyslexics.  The law says students need to be in the least restricted environment.  No public school in the US takes on full dyslexic remediation anyways so don’t worry… your little whippet smart Johnny won’t have his lacrosse budget cut for dyslexia remediation.  But you might want to read up on the IDEA act of 2004 so you don’t sound so ill informed - and Johnny doesn’t sound as out of touch with Federal law.[/quote]
