  • I don’t think phonics are the most critical part of why the kids can’t read.

    It’s proven that people who read primarily books and documents read thoroughly, line by line and with understanding, while those that primarily read from screens (such as social media) skip and skim to find certain keywords. This makes reading books (such as documentation) hard for those used to screens from a young age and some believe may be one of the driving forces behind the collapse in reading amongst young people.

    If you’re used to the skip & skim style of reading, you will often miss details, which makes finding a solution in a manual infinitely frustrating.



  • Anti-imperialism should not wrap around to supporting everyone and everything fighting against the imperial core. You can theorize about the social conditions that inevitably led to Putin’s existence or share statistics about development in China, but you shouldn’t ignore it when either does something bad just because “the US is also doing that/something similar!!!”

    Ah yes, free trade, the thing that improved the economies of ex-communist countries after the USSRs collapse and is on the path to fixing almost every African nations poverty.

    Ah yes, NATO, the “we will only call for (and maybe possibly do something to enforce) human rights if it’s convenient for us” alliance. And I’m sure all it’s member nations have squeaky clean track records when it comes to international politics.

    We must ban anyone against these things! That’s dangerous extremist ideology

    Related to several other replies: Why are you people looking at political discussions on the internet? Isn’t that quite depressing? I am subscribed to basically every popular community across instances excluding anything with the words “politics” and “news” in it’s name.

    And I think some of you should try not subscribing to any news or politics as well, no matter your ideology. I’m starting to get concerned for some of the people on this platform.
