NBT

Reid Lyon on dysteachia:

When we look at the kids that are having a tough time learning to read, we went through the statistics: 38% nationally, disaggregate that, 70% kids from poverty and so forth hit the wall ... 95% of those kids are instructional casualties.

[snip]

95% of the kids hitting the wall in learning to read are what we called “NBT”: never been taught.

    Of course, a really great mind knows whom to copy.
