Teaching Kids to Read Using Phonics

In your book, wolk racism, you suggest a few ideas that would actually make a positive impact on black america. And i want to talk about one in particular, which is around teaching kids to read using phonics. It's been proven by serious, long term educational studies that, especially if you don't come from a book lined home, you need to be taught how to sound out the words. All those things are great for affluent white kids, but in terms of how most kids from non book lined homes read, they need to being taught old fashioned way. You're making a strong statement about the incompetence of our primary education system.
