Comment How to teach to lower IQ students (Score 1) 333

The students with on IQ problems will learn to read as expected.
The gifted and skilled will learn to read.
The average students will learn to read as set out by their nations education system.

Smart people have no problems. They test well and have the IQ to learn and teach, recall.
The average students learn at a rate expected by their nations education system on average and can "read" when tested on average for their level of education.
They can keep up with their teacher and the reading work given to them.

That has happened for decades and generations. The skilled and people with the IQ needed to learn... learn.
Average students keep up with the rate of education set and pass their tests and exams, showing they are learning.
Education experts see the results every year and over a decade.
The gifted, smart, the average and a number who cant/wont learn..
In an average nation, with a set number of smart and average students that should not change much as a set percentage over a nations population. A few do really well learning to read early. Most learn to read. Some need a lot of extra support but learn to read. But the later enjoy reading.
A few cant and wont learn to read due to very low IQ, a problem, many other problems... They get the extra support they need too.

So what is the real problem with education now?
What is happening that teachers cant teach and results show a lack of reading ability?
Years of seeing and working with an alphabet, images, letters and words and "nothing" expected shows as any new academic ability in later tests and exams?
Are the teachers not teaching for hours? Why not and do they have the ability to teach? Why are they allowed to be teaching if they cant educate anyone?
Are the students not learning for hours? The IQ numbers should be the same average nation wide so "most" should be "learning" words and reading...
Given years and hours of reading education?

Is the method wrong? Then the entire nation would not be reading in a decade and a generation. Good students with skills, ability and the needed IQ are still reading.
Are the smart all only learning at home? Parents are putting in hours to teach reading in some "old fashioned" way? It has to be the wealthy and their ability to pay for tutors?
So its not the teachers, not the lack of hours of reading, not the rest of the nation...the average and very poor are learning to read?
A move to theology? Communism? Has a monarchy totally altered education methods? No? Not some outside nation wide change to "reading" education?
Not the teachers, not the teaching, no the reading, not the alphabet...?
Reading from a computer vs a book? Then that would be nation wide and tests would show "everyone" lacking in skills...
A nation wide drop in IQ for everyone?
Whats the one factor few test and look for?
What can change if its not teachers, testing, the teaching and learning of reading, IQ, poverty, wealth? Having access to a tutor, having smart parents with time to to teach reading?
A generational change in the numbers of low IQ students...
Who cant learn and wont learn...

How does a nation go from world leading to 3rd and 4th world levels of education in a generation?

Something changed and its not the teaching, reading side, education, wealth, computer side of education.
Too many low IQ people are not learning.

"Or almost so. The 1955 book Why Johnny Can't Read pointed out the disaster of "Dick and Jane and Their Running Dog Spot" " I think the real reason was because those 'stories' were dry and boring as hell. Like Saltine crackers without the salt. If they tried something more intellectually stimulating, even if it's at the level of Berenstein Bears*, they would not have had the problems they had. *Berenstein Bears was one of my favorite series of books as a kid, and it helped to create the love of reading I have today.

Rote memorization.

Quite easily. If you can't do basic stuff like reversing a string,

Rote memorization. Just like asking memorizing the steam table. Because clearly if you haven't memorized the steam table then you've never done any HVAC calculations

then you don't have any coding experience

You can tell yourself whatever you want. Rote memorization is rote memorization. Especially if you're not doing it in production code.

OK, a Simulink trained monkey.

Because that code never gets turned into C and no one has to make that interface.

Part of ADHD is that the brain is starved for dopamine which prevents the brain from functioning in a neurotypical manner. How does it make sense to attempt to duplicate that?

They're also idiots because literally anything can trigger the release of dopamine. Eating a cheeseburger? Dopamine. Double clicking on an icon and the program opening? Dopamine. Scratching your balls? Dopamine.

Comment The Physiological Psychology is clear (Score 1) 333

Physiological psychology shows that there are two reading pathways. There is one which remembers images of whole words, and another which reads letters to form phonemes.

Eventually if you spell out a word enough, you will move them into your "whole word" memory.

There is nothing wrong with learning some "sight words" like "the", "a", "an", etc. to help young readers get confidence. But they have to learn phonics at the same time.

The Pontiac Aztek showed that you don't have to appeal to everyone, but that you'll sell as well (or better) about people that feel strongly about your design.

Actually, what the Aztek showed was that some cars just don't appeal to enough people to be viable. From the Wikipedia article on the Aztek: GM forecast sales of up to 75,000 Azteks per year and needed to produce 30,000 annually to break even. Just 27,793 were sold in 2002, which was the model's best-selling year. Ford sold nearly as many Edsels sold Azteks, in half as many years.
