Trump's party of fabulism:

I guess because Republicans are incapable of reimagining their political party, instead they reimagine themselves. I expect we'll see more of this, in addition to Santos and Luna. Of course Trump was the master fabulist about his own life – "successful businessman," blah, blah . . .
Idiot

Sad news. Just learned that Canadian folk-singing legend Ian Tyson passed away this past December 29 at age 89.
So sad! And no help on th horizon.

Reading is Fundamental: Annie E. Casey Kids Count report says Fourth-graders not proficient in reading 2017: 65%
Causes are complex: for example,
Why is Pear complaining? No Child Left Behind, as I recall, was a Republican creation in the administration of President George W. Bush.
The well-being of children is not a political issue, except for you.
Your concern for the well-being of children is touching. Too bad it doesn't show up whenever a school shooting happens.
Yes, Pear, I will agree that the non-conservative, far right, isn’t really interested in kids, what with its focus on drag queen readings, the non-existent threat of critical race theory, the “imminent threat” of LGBTQ, and its lack of concern for kids getting “groomed” in church.
If you were so concerned about the well-being of children, you wouldn't want to leave them a toxic planet.
Which just illustrates that just because the articles may have validity doesn't mean the messenger always does.
I cannot believe that I agree with PP.
I learned to reed and right in 1954 using the heinous "look say" method with Dick and Jane. I can only surmise that it was a Communist plot. And, why did Jane never blow Dick?
While I had no problems learning, my dyslexic brother was tortured using this method.
Everyone promoting "whole language" should be taken out and shot.
My eldest grandson learned to read using Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons before entering kindergarten.
Yes!
It works well for some students whose brains are wired that way, Phonics, ESL strategies, “ chunking” word sounds, and other reading strategies work well for other learners.
One size does not fit all.
Yep …
and EVERY method struggles with kids who don't have a set of adults BEYOND the classroom making certain kids have adequate health, clean water, good nutrition, a stable home and school, safe/non-traumatizing environment, and reasons to read.
In an increasingly hickified nation where a disturbingly large percentage of grown-ass adults believe the war deity of a small band of Middle Eastern hillbillies created the universe 6,000 years ago, that statistic can most realistically be described as unsurprising.
PP: Do you, for once, have a reliable source for that claim?

"Ask not what mocking can do for you, but what mocking can do for your country."
So, anyone who wants larger scale academic progress should just favor teaching CRT. Again from Chalkbeat:
I mean, there's a study for everything. Cherrypicking only provides one ingredient for the pie. Nattering negativity accomplishes nothing. It is not the critic who counts…the credit belongs to the man in the arena. Et cetera, et cetera. Carry on!
And then there was that time when Matt Gaetz invited the accused – but not convicted – murderer to lead the Judiciary Committee in the Pledge of Allegiance:

I was thinking of starting a new business. Balloon rides across Alaska. What could go wrong?
So what happened at the two El Paso County GOP votes yesterday? Gazette says Tonkins won. Did they vote for her at the official meeting also?
And why is this story not being covered by any local news media?
"Tonkins won in a secret ballot, 244-193," "The members of Tonkins' slate of candidates prevailed by almost identical margins in the day's other county officer elections."
