30 years ago, John Stossel asked why San Diego schools weren’t using Direct Instruction to address students’ struggles in reading and math. The superintendent’s response? Classrooms should be “more than just worksheets and multiplication facts.” When Stossel pointed out that kids weren’t mastering basic skills, she cited rising graduation rates.
