@AthenaCNN There's no "literacy crisis" in my classroom! I'm so thankful for the science of reading and the things I've learned and applied with my 1st graders. I wish I had learned these things in college...instead, it was having a son diagnosed w/dyslexia that got me on the right track.

@AthenaCNN For a mom to hear a struggling reader grow more confident and say "I can't wait to start fourth grade." Well done Panther Valley ES principal and teachers!

@AthenaCNN After student receives new reading instruction “now I know how to sound it [the words] out”. That’s the issue. Students aren’t learning early literacy skills to decode and eventually develop into skilled readers. Disclaimer: It’s not just about teaching phonics.

@AthenaCNN This was all by design, as the book Crimes of the Educators proved many years ago:

It turns out that about 40% of 4th graders in America CANNOT READ at a "Basic" reading level 😲 We have created an increasingly illiterate society in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in 2025, because apparently it's "racist" to practice phonics, or the sounding out of letters to form words. Yes, really. Instead, our children are being taught to just blanket memorize 100,000+ words in the English language by looking at a picture and memorizing the word that goes with it. No, I'm not kidding.

87% of 3rd graders in Detroit can’t read at grade level. Meanwhile, billions pour into education, and admin costs keep skyrocketing. Where’s the accountability? Our kids are falling behind while the system keeps cashing in. Unacceptable!

"New York City spends roughly $37 billion/year to educate about 850,000 kids. That's over $42,000 per child per year. And the results are abysmal. Two-thirds of fourth graders can't do math properly and almost three-quarters can't read at grade level... ...What we can do, Mr. Mayor, is tell every mom in NYC that the $42,000 currently spent on that terrible education is going to be her money." Jeff Yass, one of the 2026 Alexander Hamilton Award honorees, on how we can solve NYC's education crisis through school choice.

Only 31% of 4th graders in Wisconsin read at grade level, which is worse than Mississippi. For 16 years, Tony Evers has been in charge of education as DPI superintendent and now governor. Our kids deserve better. They deserve an education that prepares them for success.

In the 1980s American schools started to prohibit the teaching of phonics, yes you read that right (if you can read), and the result 40 years later is that the average American reads at a sixth grade level.

The National Inquiry into grooming gangs has been thrown into crisis before it has even begun. Three members of the survivor liaison panel have resigned with claims of a "toxic culture" and a "cover up". One of them has told this programme that the Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips should stand down, accusing the government of failing victims all over again.
