Subject: RE: BS: Synthetic Phonics
Thanks for the input here.

The only point made that I disagree with is this one:

"It's just the latest educational fad, but one that's suited to the lockstep, outcome-testable, target-driven ethos of British education"

The reason why I say I disagree is that the Government seem to be ignoring it despite its apparent success where schools have implemented it independently.

I agree with the view that the Government are too target driven.
