Who woulda thunk ignoring white collar crimes will lead to ignoring other crimes.

also apparently pelosi screamed at milley to arrest trump on j6 and I think if he had then he’s successfully impeached and we don’t get trump vs united states

Have they considered that going through COVID greatly effected learning even if doing remote classes was the right decision

Of those in this small math class, a small percentage struggle with the elementary topics.

However, this has all been compressed to “10% of UCSD students can’t do simple algebra” — which is not true!

It's motivated reasoning. They attach their ego to the clout they imagine they have through their reach on Twitter and fear losing that pillar of their identity if they leave the site bsky.app/profile/stol...

"He said dyslexia does not exist"

Well yeah, if the remediation of dyslexic people is the exact opposite of your theory you have to pretend it doesn't exist

That's why they UK calls it "synthetic phonics";

in recognition of the fact that you're teasing out a normally subconscious process,

and teaching it in an explicit, synthetic, structured way.

Good readers, who saw lots and lots of books early and were interested in them, have already acquired IMPLICIT phonics in their heads.

They don't need to sound out because they're doing it subconsciously.

But readers who are struggling need to be taught the phonics EXPLICITLY, so they can get it.

Loll.

Though for his specific point about "the evidence" he's actually right, but still stupidly wrong!

If you do observational research of NATURALLY GOOD READERS, they do a bunch of things that look like his method.

BUT THEY ARE A BAD MODEL OF WHAT STRUGGLING READERS NEED.

I see this shift among advocates for 'ungrading' a lot. The argument that grades should not be punitive and set the course of a student's entire life (which they typically don't really) eventually becomes "there should be no diagnostic testing at all because it might make the student feel bad."

This is also how land use policy works lol

Though vibe reading makes sense for this age—prob not just in oddball social media replies that didn't seem to read what one wrote but also in more professional settings when I'm reading a reply and I'm like "but I addressed that in the 3rd sentence"—I thought it was rushing or attention span thing.

"Years of observational research" is a classic, not least since no one cares how long you wasted on a bogus theory.
