1. Kids are not dumb; the spelling system is. Proof โฌ‡๏ธ. Research shows it delays learning to read by 2.5 years (Seymour, 2003) for most &, if we extrapolate, it has 10s of 1000s of misspellings. Will the anglosphere care like the French who fixed 5000 words WITHOUT forcing ALL to

โ€ฆsimultaneously undermining, devaluing and vilifying teachers on the ground. Weaken both the source of professional knowledge and the profession itself. Itโ€™s a centralised war out there ๐Ÿ’ฃ

Indeed. The de-intellectualisation of teacher ed is a centralised political tactic, accompanied by the systematic erosion of teacher professionalism & autonomy. Itโ€™s a win-win for government - spend years attacking the institutions responsible for educating teachers whileโ€ฆ
Replying to @3dancingfeet
The campaign to discredit university involvement in teacher education is a most disgraceful thing to watch.

Day before the midterms and Trump is standing at the Reflecting Pool holding up photos of old pipes like itโ€™s show-and-tell. Algae, leaks, dark blue paint for โ€œreflectivityโ€ They couldnโ€™t be anymore out of touch.

This is false and dangerous rhetoric from Mike Rogers: โ€œThe next generation of kids thinks itโ€™s really cool to be against the Jews.โ€ No Mike, the next generation and my generation and the generations in between are against funding wars in the Middle East. Mike and others do a great disservice to Jewish people when they imply that opposition to Netanyahuโ€™s wars is equivalent to antisemitism.

Mike Rogersโ€™ campaign spokesperson Abby Ronson is a registered foreign agent for Israel. Sheโ€™s been out front for him โ€” including at events with Haley Stevens โ€” while registered under FARA to run pro-Israel messaging in the US through Convergence Media / Havas / Clocktower X. A vote for Mike Rogers is a vote to allow a foreign country to dictate America.
