The value one has for reading is deeply personal. The goals of literacy instruction should depend on the context of the instruction and the desires/interests/abilities of the unique individuals being instructed.
What we would prefer for our kids is often made irrelevant by them.

It has a plan to do that, as I said (but you don't listen; paying attention isn't your thing). What is your plan for the US to reduce the US's carbon emissions before your farmland turns to desert and glacier melt means the rivers dry up?

There's lots of evidence as to the beneficial qualities of nicotine. Not that teens should use it, but better that then smoking. Most who use nicotine do so for the same reasons people love their coffee.
Indeed but otoh it's also neuroprotective.

This is the equivalent of a priest insisting that people can't lead moral lives without the Church, who closes his eyes, plugs his ears, and loudly hums a hymn when secularists who lead moral lives raise their hands and ask to have a word.
They start, like everyone, interested in what they are interested in, and left only to that would pursue some very limited ends.
And who cares if they desire tests or not? They don’t desire salads either, but they’re good for them.

“growing the customs sector”
Translation:
“increasing pointless frictional burdens and fattening up a compliance bureaucracy by siphoning off the profits and compromising the viability of good trading businesses.”
Why is the @cabinetofficeuk pumping out this nonsense?
We are committed to growing the customs sector for EU trade in 2021.

IOW: "We're unable to create an environment that meets the most basic standards of social interaction expected in every other facet of life, so it's up to the *children* in our care to not have normal, human reactions to the negative behaviors we expect to see in our school."
Resilient, responsible children/ individuals do not blame others for how they feel. @BrooksGibbs @kennethgutman @PChinn79 @OakleyPark1 Guard your heart. Demonstrate emotional health!

I read this last year and it's one of the few books I've finished in two days. Can't recommend it highly enough as a model of investigative reporting driven by genuine curiosity, & a cogent analysis of how ideology too often overwhelms critical thinking.

The great thing about writing an intellectual memoir and publishing it with a great press like @penguinusa is that just about every week, a stranger reads it and writes to me, and they almost always start with their own stories. Perennial flowers.

“I can prove at any time that my education tried to make another person out of me than the one I became. It is for the harm, therefore, that my educators could’ve done me in accordance with their intentions that I reproach them.” ~ Kafka

Something's missing here...hmmmm...what is it...rhymes with "prudence." Fruitence? Moodents? Cluedents?
Just as with cops, regular, harmful practice goes well beyond this "bad apple" of a teacher. The principal enables this person to abuse kids. The teachers who work with this teacher and say nothing enable this person to abuse kids.
