Cont: Most kids would be much better off if instead of English class, they had to read for an hour 5 days a week. I challenge people to try this (if possible.) - As an English teacher, I can't use class completely ( or mostly) for reading, even if its probably the best and simplest solution.

Alternatively, you can read all about it from the experimental psychologists who are internationally respected for studying reading comprehension. 🤷‍♀️ The real cogsci. 😊

"We set out with the intention of measuring what we value but end up valuing what we can measure." Can't for the life of me remember where that quote came from but it has stuck with me ever since I first read it.

Thanks, Carl.

Didn't read lol

I spent two years on Twitter trying to communicate on basic issues. There are many things I didn't understand at first but one of them is that many people don't read. They scan the first four or five words and guess the rest, resulting in hundreds of non sequitur responses.

We could throw in some logic too and discuss the false dilemma presented herein. I agree with the point. But it’s made using a logical fallacy; it’s not a choice between two extremes.
