We KNOW what WORKS!-----In the war over literacy, phonics wins By Molly Macek
In the war over literacy, phonics wins - By Molly Macek 
- For years, a ‘whole language’ approach taught students to guess, not to read
- Phonics-based instruction, which used to be the dominant method for reading instruction, teaches these decoding skills systematically and sequentially so that students can read new words in any context.
- Balanced literacy approaches don’t work because they do not place enough emphasis on systematic phonics. Instead, they encourage students to use pictures and other contextual cues to essentially guess the word in question. Lacking decoding skills, students must figure out unrecognizable phonemes on a page. This is particularly problematic for students with dyslexia and other learning challenges.
This means some districts will choose a curriculum centered on phonics to support the state’s K-5 Reading Standards.
Others will opt for a curriculum like balanced literacy...

Anthony Fauci Was America's Warmup Dictator
Anthony Fauci Was America's Warmup Dictator
- He institutionalized the purposeful lie, suppressed critics, mastered emergency politics, even sold himself as a sex symbol.
- Anthony Fauci gave the next monster a playbook - MATT TAIBBI
Apart from a few conservative outlets, no one picked up the story.
How screwed up is the U.S. right now?
- The nation’s top medical official for years worked in public and private to stifle investigation of our worst health crisis, which increasingly looks like a unparalleled man-made catastrophe.
He’s going to skate on it, because upper-class America is now so deep into mass mental illness that it’s more likely to make a sex symbol of corruption than punish it...

Instapundit - GOODER AND HARDER, PHILADELPHIA: Shocking moment brazen masked kids loot Footlocker, Lululemon and Apple stores as Philadelphia descends into anarchy — with footage showing cops brawling with thieves and punching one in the face.
Flashback: First homicides, now shoplifting plague Philadelphia thanks to radical DA.
First, it was homicides. Then, it was carjackings. And now, it is shoplifting. Philadelphia is an absolute mess.

One good candidate comes when the animals wake up one day to discover that the uplifting, egalitarian motto that had been painted on the side of the barn for all to see—“All Animals Are Equal”—had acquired a codicil.
