yeah kinda like that but with levers instead and the music is more of a loud wailing and smashing keys of the world’s longest piano and muffed screaming of… predominantly male humans between the ages of 35-45

Yeah I don’t contest this either, I’m not especially pro-non-phonics-reading-education, I just think that’s a really poor explanation for people misinterpreting posts on social media, which is the specific thing I’m responding to. The post in question began with like “I understand why people misinterpret my posts ever since I learned about three-cueing…”
(I shouldn’t be vague about what I’m responding to but opening with zero context is Tumblr tradition)

oh I was vaguely imagining a completely different post that I saw a couple years ago (the one I was imagining that you were responding to was more like ‘hey! if you feel like someone is missing your point on purpose, consider that maybe they can’t read!’ rather than presenting it as something that was definitely happening)

It kind of denies the idea that one can learn the meaning of a word through context in a way that’s very frustrating to me. It’s not “these kids never learned to read because the didn’t understand the method they were taught through” it’s just like. “People are figuring out the meaning of a word by seeing it in a sentence repeatedly. And that’s bad”

I mean, like, I can see a more charitable interpretation of the inital post itself, maybe they are talking about specific cases where this method failed kids, but the words on the page do imply that the way people learn the vast majority of words in their life, through repeatedly seeing them in context, is not reading

And also misattributes the cause of social media misinterpretations to literal illiteracy when I think uncharitableness and what I’m told is called “context collapse” are like a way bigger thing.
