For those not aware somehow, KOSA and the Screen Act are being voted on in the senate on Aug 5th. If they pass, it literally means all of our internet will be under age verification, same as the UK and Aus. It's starting soon on Discord in Texas. I was already gated off Bsky once bc of this bs.

that one big article about how a bunch of americans were taught how to read wrong changed everything for me. now when i get a comment about something i never actually said i think oh, are you one of the kids that got taught three cueing instead of phonics? are you half guessing what i said

Bobby Schroeder@ponett.dog · 5d ago

the whole article is well worth reading but here's a particularly grim excerpt from near the end, interviewing one of the creators of the three-cueing system so many kids were taught that ruined their ability to read

When I asked him what he makes of the cognitive science research, he told me he thinks scientists focus too much on word recognition. He still doesn't believe accurate word recognition is necessary for reading comprehension. "Word recognition is a preoccupation," he said. "I don't teach word recognition. I teach people to make sense of language. And learning the words is incidental to that." He brought up the example of a child who comes to the word "horse" and says "pony" instead. His argument is that a child will still understand the meaning of the story because horse and pony are the same concept. I pressed him on this. First of all, a pony isn't the same thing as a horse. Second, don't you want to make sure that when a child is learning to read, he understands that /p/ /o/ /n/ /y/ says "pony"? And different letters say "horse"? He dismissed my question. "The purpose is not to learn words," he said. "The purpose is to make sense."

Home is the one thing we never want our children to worry about. We're trying to cover our family's rent. £400 is all remains. For them, having home means peace and safety despite everything they have been through💔 Please contribute or share, you'll be helping us protect that sense of security.🏠
