Re: “I have been using his material in my conferences...”
I really appreciate hearing this.
Thank you for putting your stuff out there. It has been a great help to me in advocating for my kids and calling out the idiots who run the schools and the ones who taught them.
My kids have been subjected to the “sight words” and various other crap that passes for curriculum in elementary schools these days. Any you’re right. They throw out crap like dislexia to cover for their failure to properly teach them how to phonetically decode words.
I spend more time de-programming them from that crap and reeducating them in reading and mathematics.
Don’t let Humblegunner get to you. He does call out blog pimps and rightly so, but I have found your stuff to be a great resource and everyone with kids in school here should spend time reading it.
