Whenever we're sitting around discussing teaching the latest political thing, I almost always now go in to look at how many schools failed to produce one (1) student reading at grade level at graduation.

I think it's fitting that people who shouldn't have made it to the next grade because they don't yet have the prerequisite skills are being taught by people who think they should be allowed to teach all these other materials when they aren't yet successfully teaching the prerequisite skills.

Reading the article, it talks about the "tricks" to read, and I think about reading Beowulf where "Beowulf spake, bairn of Ecgtheow", "Beowulf bode in the burg of the Scyldings"

Like... You better be able to sound it out because there's no tricks here, you've never seen these words...
