<p>But do we really know that they’re turning out poor readers, coureur? I’m going to give the original Post article a teensy benefit of the doubt and assume that the writer got one detail right and correctly reported that some families pulled their kids. What that tells me is that the school didn’t work for those kids. But given that the original Post article (and the HuffPo repurposing of said article) clearly misrepresented the school’s approach, I’m reserving judgment. No books? No lesson plans? Well, not exactly. The lack of concern with fact checking on the part of the Post and (shame on them) the HuffPo is a red flag for me, indicating the strong possibility that there is more to the story.</p>
