1954年的《为什么约翰尼不会阅读》（Why Johnny Can't Read）放到今天来看依然切中要害。https://www.amazon.com/Why-Johnny-Cant-Read-about/dp/0060913...
"Why Johnny Can't Read" from 1954 is as fresh as ever. https://www.amazon.com/Why-Johnny-Cant-Read-about/dp/0060913...
> 但事实并非如此，这根本不是什么新鲜事。自然拼读法和“整体词汇”阅读法之间的战争，历史比很多人想象的都要悠久。去搜搜《为什么约翰尼不会阅读》，然后再搜搜《为什么约翰尼还是不会阅读》读读看。我有个快五岁的孩子，现在已经能读没有配图的简单书了。读了上面那两篇文章，然后买了《教你的孩子阅读……
> but no, it isn't new. There's a war between phonetic reading and 'whole word' reading. Older than many think. Search for and read "Why Johnny can't read", and then do the same for "Why Johnny still can't read". I have an almost-five child who is reading simple books with no pictures. Reading those two essays above, then buying "Teach your child to read…
……它起到了什么作用，但我关于高中毕业证的观点是：在过去，比如“沉默的一代”（我父母那辈），几乎人人都能拿到的高中毕业证含金量是相当高的。然而，到了或者说在1955年《为什么约翰尼不会阅读》出版之后的某个时候，高中毕业证甚至都不能保证一个人具备基本阅读能力了（我没有切身体会，因为我长大的城市在一两年后被《读者文摘》以“为什么……”为题报道过
…what it did, but my point about high school diplomas is that what most everyone got, as of say the Silent Generation (my parents'), used to mean quite a lot. However, by or sometime after say 1955 when Why Johnny Can't Read was published it apparently wasn't even a guarantee of functional reading (I wouldn't directly know, having grown up in a city that Reader's Digest reported on a year or two later with the title "Why…
……一位论派在1810到1820年间从公理会手中夺得哈佛大学控制权，我以1930年自然拼读法遭到成功打击为标志。在《为什么约翰尼不会阅读》出版50年后的今天，我们居然还在为这事争论不休，这足以说明美国教育体制的全部尿性了。
…Unitarians capturing Harvard from the Congregationalists in the 1810-20 period, I use the 1930 when phonics were successfully attacked. That we're still arguing that, 50 years after the publication of Why Johnny Can't Read, tells us just about all we need to know about the US educational establishment.
还要注意，在这段时期里美国高中毕业证已经严重贬值了（好吧，《为什么约翰尼不会阅读》在1955年就出版了，而我们至今还在跟“迪克、简和他们的哈巴狗斑斑”较劲呢）。所以作为一种信号，它几乎毫无价值，甚至都不能保证一个人具备阅读能力。大学学位可能……
Also note that the US high school diploma has been massively devalued over this period (well, Why Johnny Can't Read was published in 1955 and we're still fighting Dick and Jane and Their Running Dog Spot). So as a signal it's nearly worthless, it's not even a guarantee someone can read. A college degree is probably…
……当年这类伪“研究”的一个典型例子：一项研究表明美国公立学校成绩下滑……但却绝口不提这种情况并没有发生在私立学校。不用说，那是在《为什么约翰尼不会阅读》的时代，当时大家开始意识到，早在二战前不久美国公立学校教育就已经开始急剧走下坡路了（迪克、简和他们的哈巴狗斑斑）。
…example of bogus "research" about this from way back when: a study showing US public school scores falling ... that didn't mention this wasn't happening in private schools. Needless to say this was in the "Why Johnny Can't Read" era where we were realizing that US public school education had started going downhill fast a bit before WWII (Dick and Jane and Their Running Dog Spot).
