When you find a reading program that’s successful then use it faithfully. It’s not that hard to understand.

Yep, seems to be common sense. This is one of the main reason I wanted to see the federal DOE done away with. Tons of funding, but always with strings attached. Those strings usually involve a lot of change for the sake of change. The next big thing, shiny new object is almost never better than the traditional way of doing things.

I’m not absolving states in unwise funding and decision making, from the state department, to the various districts, right on down to school-based decisions.
