Mississippi Miracle

🎲

Educational reform in Mississippi that rejected whole language theory in favor of phonetics, held students back if they couldn't read, and invested in reading coaches

Mentions (1)
"Mississippi rejected "Whole language" theory and went back to phonetics. Not only that, they held kids back at third grade if they couldn't read and spent their tax money on reading coaches. The American education system is so fucked that this basic thinking constitutes a "Miracle""
