Why do the schools need to change how things are taught, when phonics and all of the original stuff is still the best way to do it? Is it because they're trying to keep it interesting for the teachers, who end up doing same thing, year in and year out?
It's not working. They need to go back to the basics, like it used to be.
Also instead of repeating everything they need to teach it and move on, take for example math, it's pretty much the same thing taught, grades 4-7th. Most other countries don't do this repetitive stuff. By 8th grade they could be doing calculus, if they stopped teaching division and fractions every year for 3-4 years. The kids should know this stuff already, if they learned it once.
