put that man on the FED and he’ll soft land this economy in no time

you’ve used the word taught, which implies reasoning. which is by definition not intuitive. reading was never innate to you or anyone else.

A lot of people are commenting about how, so what, lots of people can read and are also stupid. Except this isn’t about being stupid. Or dumb. Reading and writing is a skill you gotta be tutored into. You won’t learn it through intuition. You won’t learn it through osmosis, guesswork or because the Holy Ghost descended from the heavens to enlighten your soul. You have to be taught, step by step, how to decode writing in order to then develop it into other skills, like different levels of reading, making annotations, making summaries, prose writing, and so on. All of these things should ideally become second nature to you through a long process of ‘scholarization’, one that is formulated with full understanding of what kids of different ages tend to need, and what kids in particular may require of their teachers.

Think about it. This isn’t like zoomers being unable to use Windows because they have phones. It’s like not having a school system in the first place. Good god, the districts that keep this scam pedagogy in place are gonna create a lost generation.

putin wouldn’t deprive a bald man of his strangely ethnic wigs

isn’t it funnier if we don’t

if there is one thing that is universal about teachers is that we aren’t well paid. at least in some places we are actually respected and such, but still not well paid. the one thing that keeps teachers going is that its a social profession with lots of meaning behind it. what sort of teacher looks at reading and thinks its not glamorous enough to teach it step by step as a learned skill.

why would you teach guesswork as though language is something inherent to the soul and oh fuck thats it isn’t it

i can’t really believe what i’m reading. i’m a teacher in the global south. i don’t even teach formative years, but this feels like the Three Dimensional Chess fantasy applied to pedagogy.

Wouldn’t be shocked. Museum inventories are huge. And nobody is gonna miss one of the seventeen trillion Roman Dildos Europe spent billions uncovering for the past 200 years.

Ukraine to defend themselves.

Do you think the people of eastern ukraine have a right to defend themselves?

china dominates the consumer goods market, period. by these standards the chinese have been supplying every NATO war for the past 20 years.

I can only hope it is enough to deter a military invasion by ECOWAS.
