  • Not teacher friendly

    I’ve listened to about half a dozen of these episodes and I don’t know if just happens to be the ones I pick, but there always seems to be a strong anti-teacher, anti-public school message. I found this podcast because I am interested in the science of reading, but it’s honestly hard to stay open minded and learn when teachers are assumed to not give a darn about their students and their education.

  • Not what I expected

    I hoped this show would talk about the science of reading, but it puts out puff pieces about school literacy programs instead. This content does not help me grow as a teacher.
