Going back almost 90 years, the hard left wanted to use the public schools as a way to change the world.

Roughly in 1921, sight-words were forced into the public schools, and we've had nothing but decline ever since. (The professors knew it would flop thanks to Dr. Samuel Orton's research.)

Now, we have reached a stage of general bewilderment. The Education Establishment cannot tell the truth about anything that it does. They want dumbing down. Can they say that? No they have to talk about all the wonderful new improvements in 21st century  literacy... Blah blah blah

Don’t Accept Further Nonsense About Reading. It's Time To Fight Back.

Note that the general decline throughout K-12 is especially tragic in one area: literacy. The most common thing that children say nowadays is: I don't read. I hate books. Boys especially say this, and this seems to be part of the war against men. Millions still graduate from high school and get a job but fewer and fewer can read for pleasure. A lot of bad habits have been inculcated, particularly a tendency to guess every time you don't grasp a word immediately....

THE WEAKEST SPOT IN ALL OF EDUCATION IS READING. 

Teach it in a stupid way, and children are consigned to failure. Culture and civilization atrophy. 

You'll have a real mess on your hands, like the one we have now.

Teach it properly and children will routinely proceed to writing, geography, history, science, and the arts.

Children will once again enjoy reading and education.
