Teacher Thinks Kids Shouldn't Read!

Hey, here's some great news. Little pun. The local newspaper ran a giant article about science in the classroom, and how we need to change the way we teach kids and how, best of all, my school district is right at the forefront of this all this positive movement! In fact, yours truly was right in the middle of it. Two giant pictures of my classroom, kids engaged, working their hearts out, talking about how I collaborate with Western (that would be my astronaut, thank you very much) to bring the most up to date research based strategies to my classrooom. It was great! Except for two, small sentences that maybe could have been worded a little more diplomatically. But were, of course, totally valid and explained very clearly. Which, of course, was not printed. Yeah. Upshot? I'm the only teacher on the planet who thinks kids should not be taught to read. Nice.
