Blocking what Works!
BLOG Sept 2025 How many foolish people are there in the world? …that answer by D. Parker Pres. FVYD
Plenty…
If anyone says to you evidenced-based and Education in the same sentence they are very foolish if they are looking for solutions to past education problems.
Let me remind all, for the past 8 decades kids cannot read with proficiency. For the past 3 decades, in 1991 that was 12 % in a 4th grade and above classroom; in 1999 about 17%; in 2012 about 22-25%. Then let’s continue in 2015–that number was about 27% in a general class today 2025 that number is 40% that cannot read with fluency and comprehension or at grade level with proficiency. A lot has changed like Pre K is added. But eyes are not ready to perform the task of reading yet so none of it has yet to fix the problem.
So now, if the schools are repetitive & not inclusive of nonprofit educationally- supportive work in what they allow to enter into Education. How is this new program that really does work well & enables kids to read-how do we reach kids that really do need it to work and….recover those reading skills with this highly effective simple program reach them?
It truly is a conundrum don’t you think?
Fortunately for all, the University of Southern Maine Research Office respected the Federal ESSA law of 2015 and after a strenuous Internal Review Board review to continue and apply the PhD work. So now we have that DATA. This took 20 years to get done in 8 schools, with 8 teachers and 124 8th grade students in SY19-21.
So now, I am right here with a NON-profit 501c3 program that truly does work –started 1991– when DOS computers were the only thing available and locked out of the school system for 3 decades waiting to run it in 15 min/12 weeks within 4th and 8th grades. The environment has changed but that is all–now many more kids need this remarkable work.
The block now from the school Admin. asks that I get a Peer Review of this work. A Collaborative Committee of Equals is needed for 1.5 hours to look at it.
It’s new– you do not need to know anything. How about learning and saying “great let go and stop this lunacy of avoiding the one true answer that works!” The kids have been waiting…some have even died waiting because by middle school they were still not reading 7 peer gossip destroys them. —They are truly AT-RISK
