Whole Language vs. Phonemic Awareness
NEW YORK (AP) - Nora Newcombe's son was in first grade, and she was in a state. Andrew was a bright kid, but he just couldn't read. A few months into the school year, he'd scored in the 24th percentile on a standardized reading test. His teacher said he needed to be in a class for children with learning disabilities.

A profession defined is something more than the distinction made between volunteer and paid service providers. When we speak of true professions, we do not include musicians, firefighters, police officers, a Shakespeare, plumbers, opera singers, race car drivers or a Michelangelo. Nor should we include teachers.

Greater than $103,000,000 is being spent and they still can't get it done right. Why is that? Why is it we have programs like Gourmet Cooking, or Fashion and Clothing Design? Why is it Three Village residents are paying for courses providing college credit in law, forensic science and economics, while the average household school tax burden exceeds well over $5,000.

For the last few years, the Waking Bear has published an ever-updated article about the Three Village Central School District's "5-4-3 Club." When it was first released, with much fanfare and teacher union president - Sheila MacFadyen's - panic at a school board meeting, the then reigning and feigning Queen of Naught - Mary Barter - and BOE retinue banned its distribution.

It's a Three Village Central School District thing and remarkable indeed. Until recently, a well kept secret. To join, you need teaching credentials. Then, you get to keep the membership fees. Fees paid by local taxpayers. The digits in the "5-4-3 Club" title represent increases for breathing long enough to collect them, then for obtaining additional training OR education and then, finally, their salary increases, compliments of the District's Board of Education.
