I’m surprised people are shocked by this. People sell out all the time. Publishers having been doing it for SOR. It’s not about teaching kids well anymore bits about $$.

If you demand transparency from public school teachers, expect questions about your own consulting work. Apparently “Who do you work for?” is a much tougher assessment when you’re the one taking it.

It's antithetical to progressive ideas to talk about the nuts and bolts of education, or to actually try to figure out what works, or to look at the data. They would just as soon talk about phonics and knowledge and direct instruction as they would bring back corporal punishment.

As always, LitCon ’27 keynote Rachael Gabriel gets right to the point: "Louisa Moats is winning the Reading Wars. She won the equivalent of the lottery selling reading and professional development programs that have evidence of zero or negative impact." ow.ly/W9tc50ZRZ73 @

Was listening to news reactions from Trump‘s 9/11 speech today. They said his remembrances of himself on that day were not rooted in truth. NOT ROOTED IN TRUTH? Call it what it is, A MOTHER FUCKING, BOLD FACED LIE! Media glossing over his bullshit got him elected the first time.
