What that Leftist tyrant in a black robe really wants is to have them Socialized with Socialism.
On the other hand, I have seen children educated with both phonics and with look-say.
Phonics is a guide to decoding what the words are saying to you. Look-say doesn't work at all with kids who have no understanding of what those words are supposed to mean. If you've been taught phonics, you can figure out what a word sounds like without knowing what it means, and that has some distinct value in conversing with others later on. Look-say can leave you flat with new words. Relying on that method alone rather cuts the brain off at the frontal cerebral cortex.
Judge Nicole Bernier sounds terribly ignorant. I didn't know that Canada allowed people like that on the bench. She'd be much better off on one of those fascistic human rights panels.
Socialization? ...Let's call it what it is: Indoctrination.

That Judge sounds like a nut job. It looks like she gave bogus reasons to force the kids to go to school. I wonder if the family can personally sue this Judge?
It’s a shame the “Report Abuse” button right below your post doesn’t work outside of the forum. Because sending kids to public school is a form of child abuse.
People like this judge repeat over and over that children won’t learn “socialization” unless they go to public school. Yet I’ve never seen anyone make a good argument as to what is the supposed benefit of all that “socialization.” Is there any empirical data that supports the claims made for its value?
Personally, I don’t see the benefit of shoving kids into an environment where bullying runs rampant. But maybe that’s just me.
Let’s face it, we all know this is about neither “socialization” nor phonics. Canadadian voters teach what they tolerate.
Here in the U.S. we overthrew our British government over less egregious sh!t than this.
Hooked on Socialism.

Phonics is by far the best way to learn to read. I was lucky enough to have an old-school first grade teacher who taught phonics. I learned to read in a week (literally) and by the next year was reading chapter books on my own. My older brother was unlucky enough to land in a look-say first grade classroom, and didn’t get up to grade-level reading until about 4th grade. And he was never much interested in school, largely because of his early experiences.
My 4 y.o. twins are interested in words now, and I am starting to teach them (informally — they are only 4, after all!) how to sound out words. They are constantly running around here sounding out everything they can find. I am sure they will be proficient readers in a couple of years.
Pnonics really is the only way to teach reading!
Who wants socialist kids?
The Progressives who are running our public schools, know that if you cant read you are easily controlled. Whole language/ Sight and Say has created a nation of functional illiterates. PHONICS is their enemy so they constantly seek to abolish its use because they know it produces readers.
