β€œA return to phonics and, for example, cursive writing is another example where the government is leaning into the evidence and following the voice of many parents who wanted us to really embrace those practices that for generations have worked."

You'd think if it was important to them they might try to teach their kids themselves. Or have we defaulted to we can only learn things in school already?
