I appreciated @adamkotsko.bsky.social's piece, and he gives us a lot to ponder. But beyond standardized testing, the rise of charters and corresponding evisceration of public ed, the chasm btwn what happens in rich vs poor schools...we're seeing decades' worth of chickens coming home to roost, tbh

It’s a shame he is blocking anyone who mentions the cognitive effects of long COVID. As an older grad student with LC, it’s effect on my ability to read is impossible to overstate. Stuff that was a snap during my masters is a slog on my phd.

We're seeing the convergence of so many unaddressed factors while the eventual systemic response will be simplistic, singular, and skills-based. It's the story of the last 3 decades.

We haven't really taught reading in decades. Methods like phonics and sentence diagraming and how grammar changes meaning are analytic skills. Relying solely on look at the picture, say the word relies on memory and won't teach how language works to create meaning that you need to interpret text

My daughter is now in 2nd grade but when she started K, I was both grateful to know her school teaches phonics, and shocked to learn not all schools do

It’s overwhelming. Turns out living in a country that worships money and hates children is kind of bad for learning.

We know how successful, meaningful learning works. A lot depends on relationships, well supported challenges, teachers who have the time and wherewithal to design quality curricula and class experiences. But most students are warehoused in overcrowded and underfunded schools without any of that.
