This is the guy smearing Reading First, Direct Instruction, and phonics, and using Congress to do it.

I keep mentioning the dad who told Ed that in politics your enemies:

• investigate you

He said the way you deal with these things is:

don't break stride

Well, at least no one here has tried to investigate complaining parents as yet, possibly because one of the few powers our public schools do not possess is the power to subpoena witnesses.

I intend to keep Ken's discussion of the Reading First hearings bookmarked.
