You can’t set up an “education” system this bad, unless education is the last thing you want to achieve. It’s like Obama — he’s running the country really, really badly isn’t he? Well, that’s because he’s doing it badly on purpose. You cannot be this bad just by being dumb. Even dumb people do somethings correctly. If you are 100% wrong (Obama; government schools) you must be working to a plan.
Isn’t that odd.
This is precisely what the teachers’ unions say goes on in home schools and can not be permitted because the children are harmed.
But now it is the latest and greatest thing for teachers. Probably so that they can do even less and get paid more.

I refer to it as the “Upside Down, Right is Wrong & Wrong is Right” ride.
Same concept as Twilight Zone (when I had netflix, I watched every single episode, even though I had already seen most of them).
I don’t like this ride, I want off. Unfortunately, the way things are looking, there seems to be only one way off, and it ain’t pretty.
But I believe most of us know this already.
GIVE IT UP! If you wish to see the reforms you are seeking that will ONLY happen in a free market. Socialist-entitlement K-12 schooling has destroyed and continues to destroy the free market in education.
Our nation's government owned and run K-12 schools are the very DEFINITION of a socialist-entitlement, single-payer, godless, compulsory use, compulsory funded, program. These schools are the very DEFINITION of a price-fixed monopoly cartel that is destroying the free market in education by giving its services aways for tuition-free!
THIS CAN NOT BE FIXED!!! IT MUST BE ABOLISHED!
Personally, I see the government's socialist-entitlement schools to be soooooooooo EVIL for the child and such a threat to our nation's continuing freedom, that I will NOT have a government school teacher or worker for a friend. They are NOT welcome in my house. They are too evil, too stupid, or too much of a Useful Idiot to be a friend. ( I don't have abortion workers for friends, either.)
Arête.
You are absolutely right about the paradox of the establisment demonizing rote memorization and then torturing children with whole word reading instruction.
Having taught hundreds of children to read, including my own using phonics which has a minor amount of memorization, I compare the difference to being asked to memorize the multiplication table (phonics) and being asked to memorize the the products of all numbers regardless of the number of digits instead of teaching the steps to multiplying numbers with more than one digit.
It’s so stupid, it’s hard to believe the educrats have been pulling this off since the 50’s and disabling so many Americans.
I do not believe the system can be reformed, it can only be abandoned.
If you want to know just how DEVIOUS the people running schools are, even HERE IN TEXAS, go look up “CSCOPE” on Google - what it is and how it was done is one of the most FRIGHTENING things I’ve ever seen from government in this country.
