In all seriousness, whole word reading actually started out as a way to specifically get autistic kids to learn how to read. It is effective in that regard, but obviously you shouldn't try to apply that to allistic students (fundamentally different brain structures and all that).
This whole thing seems silly. There are languages where the only way to read is "Whole word reading" (Chinese and Japanese primarily) and these kids clearly do fine. Research even shows that the more adept someone is at reading the less they even look at letters, they just see they "shape" of the word. This is just another way to offload blame. Reality is a lot of kids (and humans in general) are dumb and now one crutch that made them not look dumb in the past isn't there to cover it up, that combined with a general shift away from engaging in education to it's fullest extent is the reason kids can't read. Not because they are learning a slightly different method.
@davidn9261 Ah yes, use the languages that are in a completely different format, structure, and a heavy use of symbols instead of drawn out words as a comparison to the languages that are spelled out. The symbols are the biggest thing. It's the biggest reason that whole word reading works in eastern languages. Those symbols change meaning depending on how you say them so all someone has to do is look at that 1 symbol that's essentially just 1 letter, and they have a multitude of different words/phrases. We, on the other hand, have to spell out every difference in the words we say. That's what he was saying about photonics being better because if they just learn the sounds of the initial word. Then they'll be able to understand all the variations of that word and those that sound similar without having to learn each individual one.
@@EeeeerisssssI totally agree that this whole thing is being used as a scapegoat for plenty of other issues that are interfering with modern learning, and I’m gonna do what is taboo nowadays and trust the educators. I bet phonics was a counterintuitive nightmare to teach anyway, considering sounds like -ough, -ui, -one, and -omb, not to mention the hundreds of confusing homonyms in English.
@@larryredenbaugh6854but phonics are so misleading and fluid, think about the words done, bone, comb, and tomb, and then even longer words like cough, thought, and through. I trust the educators to be innovating in ways that are more practical for learning our mish-mashed language
@@Eeeeerisssss yeah, but in japanese you dont have to guess how to sound something out you almost always know how to say a word you dont know. Japanese pronunciation is consistent and doesnt have stupid rules like english does.
My sister is a kindergarten teacher in Dallas. Teachers in her district are required to teach whole word reading even though they know it's a bad method. There's a huge emphasis on testing the kids with extensive conversational tests (often 30-50 questions) in order to collect data on their learning for the state. This data, though, is horrible as kindergartners will not focus on this test for the duration needed. The biggest problem, however, is the fact the children cannot socialize anymore. Teaching through play is the most effective development method, but teachers are forced to teach extensive lessons and test their kids even though the most important aspect of kindergarten is developing social skills. This is causing kids to have consistent meltdowns because of simple things like sharing or taking turns. Then, there is the teacher shortage. Texas requires that every class 4th grade and below have 22 or less students. No classroom follows this rule. Class sizes range from 26-32 kids per class. Sped kids are also being denied their right to a specialized curriculum. The schools will say that certain children need sped but the sped classes are too full and so they'll have to get by in the regular class. My sister has to spend most of her time managing these kids, often simply managing classroom safety. K-12 is a disaster right now.
Do you know why schools switched to whole word reading? Surely there must be some reason, however misguided, right?
@@skanderbeg152 Probably lobbyists. Someone got cut a check. That's usually the reason for stuff like this.
@@skanderbeg152 just finished reading a couple articles but there doesn’t seem to be a conclusive answer as to why kids aren’t learning this way. Interestingly, in 2019 the Texas house passed a bill now referred to as HB3 (house bill 3) which covered a wide range of safety and education concerns from the State, one major concern being that Texas kids cannot read or spell and the data really date really makes this clear. Notably the state invested a ton of money to conclude 3 crucial things about learning to read: 1) a phonics based education system is the scientific and most effective method. 2) “highly effective teachers” make a big difference. 3) the state needs “integrated reading instruments. Reading this was increasingly shocking to me. It is very clear that the state knows that a phonics based education works best and it is an actual bill that makes sweeping promises passed back in 2019. So why are schools not doing this science based model? First, this change was extremely jarring for k-2 teachers. The material was completely new, and they were forced to attend an unpaid 60-120 hour training about HB3, most of whom said they had to work after the training and on weekends to complete the necessary work to finish the curriculum. As a consequence, there was little teacher advocacy for the new method. Crucially, the state did not force any school to adopt a specific curriculum, they only offered resources that districts could use in addition to resources form a selection of state approved resources from various non profits and business. I know that the curriculum my sister used is directed pasted from one of these companies, to whom the school pays millions of dollars for this curriculum. Now, this seems obviously stupid, especially m when it is clear the state recognizes the importance of good teachers, hence point 2). My guess is that they do this because of the extremely high turnover of teachers. Teachers are quitting in masses. One survey found that nearly 70% of teachers are seriously considering leaving education, and I don’t blame them. 1/5 of the surveyed said they work a second job, and 90% of teachers say they experience burnout. 60% of which say contributes to their anxiety in their daily lives. Now, I can say that this matches my lived experience. Both of my have been teachers their whole adult lives. Because of the recent cohort of kids, my mom switched to working for gears up instead (it’s a college readiness program) only because of how miserable her life was while teaching. My dad is actively looking to return to the university level. My sister is looking to go back to school. The high school I graduated from had several vacancies that they cannot find anyone for. In fact, they had 0 applicants. No one wants to work in education. The point here is that I don’t really blame the teachers for not wanting change. The problem really lies in the implementation of the program. Why are we trusting privately funded programs to supervise curriculum? Why are kids spending absurd hours on iPads for school? (These children are medically recommended to spend less than an hour but are spending 5-7 hours on average between t.v. And school!) Why is the minimum starting salary approved by the state only 5k over the poverty line for 1 person (5k below for two person)? Also further reason is the dominance of the TEKS program, which has extremely vague requirements from its standards on reading acquisition and seems to be more focused on collecting data and improve STAAR scores. I also can’t seem to find a newer curriculum update that 2017!?! That’s what their website says, but they really can’t be right?!? Ultimately, the problem is funding, implementation, teacher experience, govt posturing, private influence, district based decision making, and-perhaps most overlooked in this essay (sorry I’m rambling)-terrible responses to social factors such as the pandemic, immigration, inclusion, screen time, and lack of adequate parental influence. Kids learn more though playing and experience the world. Kids learn better when they feel safe. Kids learn better when they are fed. Sorry again, didn’t mean to go so in on this topic
Thank you for this valuable insight into American education :)
@@kaydenmiller7046 this was a super informative comment, thank you so much.
r/teachers is probably one of the most miserable places on the internet and is definitely a heavily skewed representation of what teaching and current students are like.
My sibling is a teacher and I volunteer at schools from time to time, while Covid has definitely set kids back a bit (and the stats support this), its not nearly as doomed as r/teachers pretends it is. Going on there would make you believe the average highschool freshman has trouble with basic reading, writing and spelling. This is simply not true, the stats show the kids are no where near that far behind and that is pure doomerism.
That sub seems to attract people that genuinely hate teaching, as nearly every single post is negative.
Also teachers aren’t going to post about how students are performing at a normal expected level. It’s always going to be extremes that are interesting (mainly negative ones).
This^^^ It's gonna be biased for just hating onnthe new method cuz they were taught old.
I think a lot of people get in to teaching because they themselves had a really amazing teacher and it absolutely kills them when it turns out they're just not good at it and aren't connecting with their students the way their teacher connected with them. That being said I also think there is an issue with parents either unwilling to acknowledge that their kid isn't working hard enough and so it must be a teacher issue or simply not being involved in their child's school life at all because between work, getting food on the table, and having some form of personal time just isn't feasible. There also seems to be a no failure mentality taking over which means kids who should be held back aren't, even in some cases when the teacher and even a parent knows it would be best, the school admins absolutely refuse because of a myriad or reasons, probably mostly due to budget being related to performance. We've more than doubled the amount we spend on public education in the last 20 years and yet math and reading abilities fall every year. Personally I think its a cultural thing, Americans simply don't value an education as much as other parts of the world. Its cliche to mention but the whole "I want to be a youtuber when I grow up" in America vs the "I want to be an astronaut" in China (paraphrasing) says a lot.
@@llwyd564 I don’t even get the comparison lol. I’d argue a youtuber is actually more of productive to society than an astronaut. No one shuns kids that say they want to be an actor or a singer but a youtuber and suddenly an entertainment career is ridiculous and a waste of a life.
I’d say schools in most places in the world fail to teach the value of education because they assume a child will figure it out which I don’t think should be the case. Not really sure how you teach its value though other than make kids work terrible physical-work jobs or take them on field trips to third world countries to show them what their education looks like.
I think repeating grades was already a really rare practice, at least outside of the US, but its dropping use is because research is finding that the social problems created by holding a child back a year disrupts their learning more than the benefit of relearning a year of material (creates lifelong self-esteem issues, struggle to form social bonds with classmates etc).
Reddit as a whole is biased toward Doomers. You should ignore every non meme subreddit. No one goes on these subreddits to say anything positive, everything is negative. The site is a cesspool designed to promote negativity.

Whole word reading probably works better for dyslexic kids, but it is weird that we don’t teach frameworks to educate yourself in language.
A friend of mine learned to speak 5 languages by the time he was 17 because he had a hyper fixation on linguistics. Every time I need to learn some new concept in another language or culture I call him and get a deep dive that ranges from international spellings, pronunciation, and grammar.
It regularly blows my mind how his framework of understanding and higher order knowledge allows for such a quick absorption of language.
I am dyslexic and it really helped me learn English and Spanish*. Though Spanish is actually spelled how it sounds, so probably phenetic learning would be even better for non-dyslexic people.
That's what I thought at first too, but the guy who came up with the theory literally does not believe dyslexia is real from what I read lol.
Some people really are just built different for learning languages tho
Another dyslexic. I different use for word reading. This wasn't taught to me but simple the only system work. I different look at the shape of the words. I would still use other context ques to understand the word. I tested on the 0.5 percentile for reading nonsense words. While being in 20 percentile for most normal readying, yet 70 for reading comprehension as whole. Clearly i didnt read how they tested you if you could read, but at the end of the day i was still able to understand what i would read as long as there was enough context ques to use. Biggest issues I run into with full word reading is I find it hard to pick up spelling mistakes. If words have the same kind of shape I read as the word that makes sense not what actually spelled. Natural the work around for this is to have voice to text software so I can hear the mistakes.

"Reading" and "verbally reading" are two different things. Gen Alpha are growing up with the internet where reading and writing are core requirements. That doesn't mean they know how to pronounce words out loud (for words they haven't seen before). It's sad, but also makes sense.
Very true, I'm 22 and I would estimate that 10% of my reading skills were "taught" to me and the other 90% was picked up intuitively through listening to adults speak, watching shows/movies/videos and reading books and on the internet. The average Alpha won't be any worse at reading, they will just speak an a more modern internet dialect that won't follow conventional English standards as much as past generations who were strictly taught how to speak "proper".
It doesn't make any fucking sense cause I can pronounce and read just as well, and likely better without a handicapped teaching method.
I just feel bad for Gen alpha man, they don’t have a choice in how they grow up. I truly blame all the bad parents in the world and not them.
That's what I was gonna say let's not forget they're just kids and the teachers and parents are the ones letting them down
Parents, government, student, in that order
they are growing up in one of the best times to be alive, considering most generations were poor or at war
they are gonna be fine

Legit my older brother had to go through special training after he joined the military just to relearn how to read and write. He went through HS whole word reading and trying to write an approximate to whatever he thought the word looked like. Deadass started writing "back" like "c/gn". I'm pretty sure his teacher just gave him Ds without bothering to even try decoding that mess.
I noticed that one of my younger siblings writes his a's the same way you type it a while back. When I asked about it he just said it's easier to write words the way he remembers them rather than converting it into proper handwriting. Doesn't even get the hat to connect to the outer edge either, so his a's are pretty much a circle with a slash through it.
Not just Gen Alpha, up to Gen X depending on where you live are incapable of parsing "Ovengold Turkey" on a sign card. Back when I worked in a deli I'd have to walk around the counter and have early to mid 20s customers point to a loaf of meat at least twice a week.
I think people would assume everyone has the same knowledge they do. But every generation has people who can't read. Like if you are saying up to Gen X is bad, are you implying it was better before that? Because the literacy rate was significantly lower.
Nah, just super old people not being able to read a signcard can be chocked up to bad eyesight or old age. Old people also don't give a look of fear and confusion when I tell them "I can''t see through the display, which one do you want?"@@18puppies91

From a teacher in Sweden teaching Swedish; reading is most likely taught the same as it always has been, however, I think the average reading skills has gone down during the recent decades, which could explain the reason why language teachers are trying out different methods to see if anything catches out of panic.
(My view as a teacher) We have an even worse trend growing in mathematics, something called "Thinking Classrooms". Essentially the idea is that students should discover mathematics through exploratory problems, which is insane because the main problem in mathematics is not having a solid foundation, and this method only makes it worse because you ignore the foundations.
As a math student this isn't nearly as bad, don't know what you're on about. As long as you have a good teacher who course corrects wrong approaches and clarifies things when no one's getting it right, figuring out stuff on your own or with a group definitely helps you remember and understand the concepts better. Usually these classes feature a mix of exploratory stuff and lecture so you definitely get the foundation
@@gabrielhicks8043 This is not my experience having taught this way. What I have observed is that the strong students get a lot from it, while the weak students get next to nothing, and that the time would be better spent with a more balanced approach. The surveys we have ran with the students also show that they dislike it and they feel they have to use too much of their free time learning fundamentals on their own. We have also observed that there is an increase in students that dont pick calculus, disproportinately compared to other schools in the county. Which is weird since the school has science as their profile. These surveys are done over several years. If you are a teacher who use this method I am happy it is working out for you guys.
If i had done that in school i garuntee i would have never gotten anywhere. Even if the teacher gives you the answer eventually, isn't in demoralizing to be constantly given problems with no clear solution and needing to be saved by the teacher every time?
'discover mathematics through exploratory problems' ...so learning? Exploratory problems in no way implies ignoring foundations.
@@captchagod64I would have preferred this method way more. The most frustrating thing was solving the problem with my own method and them telling me I am wrong because I didn't use their slower and more confusing method to get the same answer. At the end of the day we all learn differently so really it should be down to the student to figure out which way they learn best and use that method.
whole word reading would have stunted me developmentally b/c I have aphantasia and cant image in that way. Thank fuck I didn't grow up with it.
The idea with traditional reading methodology was that kids would be read to or would have ways to decode what a word means. All they would have to do was learn how to read the word. The whole word reading method is really not THAT different, though the result is quite interesting. In WWR the child is given an image in addition to the word to help build the connection between the word and it’s definition - this is great for kids without active parents, kids with learning disabilities, and kids who don’t have access to ways to decide words. The issue is that kids grow up getting used to being GIVEN definitions and phonetics without having to work through a word. I teach HS bio, so I teach kids tons of high level vocab, but most can barely handle reading at an elementary school level because the WWR system failed - they weren’t given the support to learn the lower level words properly and when they get to me and have to learn concepts instead of macroscopic objects they struggle a lot. The goal should probably be to use WWR in kindergarten or early elementary school and then shift to traditional phonetics once the kid shows decent ability to read basic words so they can build confidence and mastery of reading. WWR at any level higher than 3rd grade is a disaster that sets a kid up for failure.
Yeah i didn't even think about how difficult WWR would make teaching and learning scientific words. Intuitively understanding latin and Germanic word structure has helped me estimate the meaning of so many scientific words in a variety of fields. I couldn't imagine trying to memorize every term based on its shape.

Asian languages when learning that "whole word reading" is a discredited education method: 😮
Although funnily enough, Taiwan still teaches Zhuyin/BoPoMoFo which is a phonics-based version of Mandarin. But unlike romance languages, the phonics have to be placed next to the Chinese character, so as you get more fluent your need to sound out words decreases and anything past an elementary-level textbook or a language-learning book will no longer have it. It's used for typing though!
That's exactly what I was thinking. Isn't that the main reason that literacy is China was relatively low for so long, since traditional characters are hard to memorize?
Kanji drills 😭
Whole word reading makes more sense for Asian languages though cause like, the whole word is the word, like you can kind of break it down but not that much, doing it with English just doesn't make any sense
I feel so validated hearing that cursive literally DOES NOT MATTER and does not affect or improve anyone's life whatsoever. As long as you are capable of writing, and it is legible, there is really no difference if it's printed or cursive. The only exception (kinda) is your signature, but really, you can put whatever the fuck you want in there anyway
my 4 years if cursive just casually wasting away
And poor teachers who have to try to decipher the cursive of a whole class of 7 years old
It was really only a useful skill when people hand wrote extensively, because it does actually save a significant amount of time.
I just make the cross for my T go above the entire name and call that my signature lol, it’s distinct enough, and cursive is a sham when it comes to signatures anyways. I’ve seen what my dad writes, and I genuinely don’t believe he even knows what it says
Sorry to pull the "as a ___ student" line, but as an education major, the justification for cursive writing now is not for writing skill nor to learn "class", but for young kids to develop their fine-motor skills. That's why, at least for my country, it is being thought from 2nd grade to 4th grade. It has more connection now on physical/psychomotor skills than literacy.

My mom is a high school theater director, and a few months ago she was telling me about a conversation she was having with a school admin who was in charge of working with middle school students who were struggling in classes.

A few days later in my mom's theater program, the kids the admin was referencing had no trouble reading the script they would be preforming later that quarter.

My 18 year old got her first mobile device and headphones when she was still in her stroller. She was reading with 5th grade comprehension by age 3. 12th grade by age 7. College by age 11. We had her tested. What we did is read with her every day and definitely before bed until she told us it was cringe 😂. I think a lot of people just find it to be too much work so they dont bother. But you need to know... Its the teachers job to introduce concepts and foster skills. Its caregivers job to reinforce learning with practice and encouragement at home. Dont be surprised if your kid is illiterate if you dont participate in their education.
Back in grade school, my teachers forced us to write in cursive. Some of my friends got whole letter grades off for writing essays in print instead of cursive.
Fast forward to college in 2024, and many people can’t read my handwriting. At one point, my class had an in-person, written assignment and I had to stay behind after class to read my answers out loud for the TA while she graded it.

i'll be honest, i use context clues to guess, and then learn, the meaning of a word, all the time... this shit is actually handy af... Now if i was Gen A and like 6 years old, maybe it wouldnt be the best to learn in the first year of reading.
i was thinking the same thing, i have learnt most of my english online, from context clues.
@@BURGERFEVER but when you are learning another language you already have that framework for context clues that 6 year olds dont have
I’m a little too old (undergrad) to have been taught entirely using whole-word reading for English, but I have noticed it being used in my Spanish and French classes. It does have the partial benefit of teaching context clues to know the *meanings* of words (while phonics only lets you know how to say them) while not being incompatible with things like roots which fundamentally use the same pattern-recognition. But it is really embarrassing when college-level advanced Spanish students pronounce ‘jalapeño’ the same way my ass-backwards cousins in rural Alabama would and can’t conjugate to save their lives. I was taught using a *mixture* of whole-word reading and phonics, and as a result I’m able to both read quickly (as I’m not sounding out words) and I’m not stumped by unfamiliar words (because I can break them down when I get to them). Literally just mixing the two combined the benefits of both.
i was taught to use context clues to guess the meaning of a word but only after i was taught how to actually read by sounding out the letters. bc context helps with vocabulary not reading lol.

Recently started working as an assistant lecturer. And I can say confidently that most of the students I work with does not give a fuck about their grades nor put in any effort for their assignments or exams. I graduated from the same uni about an year ago and I'm really not that much older than the students. Its just insane to me how much these students have fallen off.
I'm in my fourth year of an engineering degree at a prestigious Canadian university and while my first year was super difficult and required endless amounts of effort for pretty much everybody in order to pass classes, now most student can and do skip pretty much every class and only show up to exams. I have done this for multiple classes and have put maybe a total of 10 hours into the course including hw and studying and attending class and i will get 70-80. They scale everything to get an 80 average so it's super hard to fail. It feels like hs again since covid with how they are catering to the lowest conmon denominator of student and clearly just want everyone to pass and graduate. Really opened my eyes to how easy it is to get an "important" degree these days. It's a shame how I cant look at an engineer and automatically trust and respect their work and intellect. Some people in my program lack a shocking amount of common sense and problem solving skills and have just mastered using ai/file sharing/light cheating to get through school with no interest in the topics and no plans to use their degree for anything other than "making money".
We have to remember that the teachers are just teaching what the district outlines. And most teachers try to make these lessons as easy for the students to understand. You get stuff like Whole word reading from people that have never set foot in a classroom it’s so unacceptable
Phonics is still taught but only a really young ages, like 2nd grade and down. I teach 7th grade ELA and the average reading level is 5th grade to 6th grade. 5 years ago at the school I teach at the averages were at grade level or slightly above. Teachers are always mad because the people who tell them what to do are politicians not educators, so we get dumb shit like creationism in science classrooms or whole word reading and then methods that are research based and shown to be effective are slowly eroded and abandoned in the name of making people with bullshit jobs in District and state education systems have something to do.
Not reading is keeping gen alpha big
I don't even know when I learned to read, I just knew I could read by the time I got to preschool.
Yeah at some point I just learned how to pick up words through context and slowly got faster and faster.
@@stevie2673Thats how language learning goes.
even tho im young gen z and in college rn, i am so far disconnected from this problem bc i go to a really good school lmao.
Was also of the same gen where we were taught to learn words phonetically. I hated it too though. Whenever I asked how to spell something cause I didn't know.how it was spelled I would as the teacher how to spell it and they would tell me to sound it out. I did, showed the teacher and was told I was wrong. Words similar to the word caramel and colonel shit. Some bullshit and unkindly fuck yourself if you're a teacher that pulled that "sound it out" bullshit when you know the word isn't spelled the way it sounds.
You can definitely hedge by shorting the stock in parallel
Isn't that considered insider trading though? I thought that was the whole reason they can't sell their stock since they know there will be massive layoffs soon but that information isn't public yet so they're barred from making any trades. Maybe I misinterpreted the situation and they couldn't sell their stock regardless, idk how most employee stock options work.
skibidi toilet coin?
Skibidi Bidet’s is a great way to scam gen A (Ludwig has figured it out)
I’m a new teacher, these kids DO NOT KNOW HOW TO READ OR WRITE. I’m extremely concerned for their college readiness as well as just general life readiness
Whole word reading might literally just be my experience learning Chinese lmfaoooo
It’s so hard to learn words
if they can't read maybe we will have less stupid takes on youtube and twitter in the future
Thankfully my Cousin got his kid into reading even before he went to school so he is way ahead.
Am I part of the problem? I never understood phonetics and I still don't (I'm almost 18)
My only thing against reading words out is that every letter in our alphabet can be silent. I can read Spanish and Korean. Let me tell you, they can easily sound out words.
Well dayum say it with ya chest about Lisa she got hit with the stray of strays
You get to the point where you’re whole word reading anyways right?
I get the thing about not learning how to sound out a word tho. They don’t care about that they can regurgitate better on a test the memorization way.
The debt of education. Needs abolished it's an objective failure
Oh ggs ig
I'm sorry big A but the people who are worried that they cannot sell should just hedge there position with short position in the company so that if there long options go down in value they are covered by the short l, they have a clear option forward to protect themselves and you missed it
Bro looks zooted in this one
Gary Stevenson is like the classic I became a millionaire with the system and now that I’ve made my money I campaign on how unfair it is lol
This is more a diss on boomers still, for putting this new teaching into effect.
But this isn’t only with gen alpha? Whole word comprehension began to be implemented in the 1980’s
It all started with no child left behind, man. Well, it didn’t start there, but I’m only in my 30s. So that’s what I’m gonna blame this shit on 😂
Big balatro crossover
Whose bright idea was it to go from teaching kids to think about the words they see and hear to rote memorization? What was their reasoning? How the hell did they convince other people?
I think we need an age verification service for all online plattforms that allow comments. I keep reading comments of people that think they know shit, but it turns out they are just 18 year old babies acting like they know shit.
I only write in cursive. The amount of grown adults who genuinely don’t know the cursive alphabet is a lot
Haven't watched the vid yet but my little brother can barely read and type/write even less. He uses the microphone to "type" on his tablet, that he is attached to for every hour of the day when outside of school. He's almost grade 5... It's jover bruh
whole word reading? so chinese?
there are many techniques women use to give their hair volume lol. i believe in ur learning abilities big a
I hate writing in print, cursive for life
My son goes to a school that teaches phonics and has emphasized learning to read as early as possible. My son is 6 and is tearing through graphic novels like Dog Man in less than a day. One day, I will pass onto him the ancient texts known as Harry Potter 😂
We need an MMO that is exclusive to American K-12 and requires children to read/type, form and manage guilds, get married (in-game), trade the auction house, PvP, do questing, get dripped out and grind XP as these are all going to do a better job preparing them for the real world than the current education system. If you argue that an MMO will rot their brains I argue that it can't be worse than TikTok.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Maulding maybe not balding, not as much as Assmongold at least xD
This feels like the same way Chinese people learn their alphabet. Or how Japanese people learn Kanji. It’s whole word reading and it seems super complicated. I’m confused why this would become the norm for teaching when it seems not efficient.
You need Pantene Pro V
Chat saying ICANT gives me CANcer
dw guys im a zoomer and got a 36 on my ACT. Ive single handedly saved every single one of us
Why did they start this whole word reading thing?
is me learning english on the internet whole word reading?
Is it just me, or is his beard grow fast af.
Gen alpha has to compete with AI Robots. They are cooked as is.
Fruit salad yummy yummmmmmmmmayyyy
With a sample size of 2, NL's fanbase is on average 25 years old. Very funny Big A, but I've known what gambling was since I watched CS:GO turn a classmate into an addict.
If Big Albert can read this sos pls shave
when you hear people complaining about these problems how the younger generation can't do something, they act like that's not the older generations fault for actually not teaching them how to do basic stuff
if anything the current generation is taught to self learn and avoid any help like it is for college because the teachers don't care and don't get paid to care
