An infuriating story and naturally this hurts the poor kids and minorities more. Rich parents get their kids tutored. Basically, a bunch of teachers and schools bought into a teaching method about 30 years ago that doesn't work and the science was pretty clear at the time that it doesn't work.
There's also some classic skeptics stuff here. The folks profiting from the pseudoscience accuse big education of doing exactly that.
I blame the Kiwi's, one of them created this method in the 60s. To be fair, before the science was clear.
Anyrate, if you have kids and their schools use a method other than phonics, go to the school board meetings and get them to stop.
Anything from Lucy Caulkins, Fountas and Pinnell, or Maire Clay, is bad bad bad.
