I saw the following image on LinkedIn and commented on it. I
then happened to see that that image was liked by 83 members and was re-posted by
42 of them. I then decided to post this on my blog hoping to get some comments from those who re-posted. Will any of the 42 educators have anything to say? It will be an interesting discussion.
The following are my comments on the LinkedIn post.
Emina:
Do not give voice to the naysayers. Do not amplify individuals who cling to misinformation, directly or indirectly. Do not amplify problematic or incorrect conceptions about reading instruction. Do not engage in tit-for-tat debates. Do not waste precious time on people who do not want to know better or do better. Do not demean or malign, and do not make people feel less than. Do not make fun of people.
Sadly, we must accept that some people are unlikely to ever change their minds.
