As babies explore cause and effect it’s not uncommon to see them test ideas over and over to see if the same thing happens each time. Watch this little guy studying the shadow he’s making on the rug. You’re seeing his brain make connections in real time.

Notice how the legislation is use to negate the value of choice and options. Meanwhile PUB EDU DOES NOT COMPLY WITH IDEA. Law means NOTHING in schools. Districts will spend more $ to avoid serving kids than it would cost to serve them. Do your research. Don’t believe the hype. https://twitter.com/dianeravitch/status/1637123379458088962

I asked ChatGPT "Is the 'science of reading' settled science that determines how reading should be taught?" Here's the response. https://nancyebailey.com/2023/03/19/what-does-chatgpt-say-about-the-science-of-reading-it-may-surprise-you/
