But, as The Post\u2019s Cayla Bamberger reported last week, parents and education advocates across the city are demanding that the Department of Education do more to help all students learn how to read. <\/p>\n<p>In 2019 (the last full pre-COVID school year), less than half of all Grades 3-8 students were proficient in reading. Then the debacle of remote learning set back all kids, leaving Mayor Eric Adams and Chancellor David Banks a lot of damage to undo. <\/p>\n<p>Adams\u2019 own struggle with long-undiagnosed dyslexia informs his <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach: His budget plan <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/gothamist.com\/news\/mayor-adams-proposes-74-million-plan-for-public-schools-to-address-dyslexia?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_source=Chalkbeat&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=cb_bureau_ny&amp;utm_campaign=721e4d0670-New%20York%20Fewer%20students%20have%20been%20suspended%20this%20y&amp;utm_term=0_9091015053-721e4d0670-1296380834\">earmarks $7.4 million for dyslexia screening and support programs<\/a>, plus launching two new schools for students with reading disabilities in Harlem and The Bronx.<\/p>\n<p>Banks, meanwhile, wants to rethink the DOE\u2019s approach to literacy by stressing phonics at an earlier age. That\u2019s a huge win for kids and common sense over the ideologues who dominate the education establishment.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, that includes the State Education Department and Board of Regents, who in recent years have focused on dropping standards across the board to conceal rather than heal the system\u2019s failings. That\u2019s produced rising high-school graduation rates even as remote learning left all too many kids actually learning far less. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>The SED\u2019s new \u201calternative pathways to graduation\u201d serve to confer diplomas on functional illiterates. Teens (especially ones with learning disabilities) get steered into paths where the system doesn\u2019t have to address their problems learning to read. <\/p>\n<p>Since they\u2019re disproportionately <em>minority<\/em> kids, it\u2019s a kind of racial segregation \u2014 the very sort of \u201cinequity\u201d that such progressives supposedly despise. <\/p>\n<p>Adams is spot-on when he laments that the DOE\u2019s $37 billion a year in taxpayer money isn\u2019t buying a whole lot of learning success for the great majority of city students, especially black and Hispanic ones, who don\u2019t perform at grade level in reading <em>or<\/em> math. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no greater <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>-justice cause than helping poor and minority students learn to read. It\u2019s a shame the mayor and chancellor need to fight not only the DOE\u2019s inertia and the misbegotten policies of the last mayor but also the state education authorities as well as the ideologues and special interests who\u2019d rather cover up the injustice than truly confront it.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
