The science is not the problem, the reporting on & narrow interpretation is.

Once again, frustrating but not surprising SOR advocates either don't read or read poorly. Responses to this reveal flaws of SOR as *movement* and *policy*

New research challenges conventional wisdom about grade retention. There is now "substantial evidence that grade retention in elementary school can be an effective lever for improving student outcomes. But..." (the "but" is important)

Republicans aren’t afraid of “Critical Race Theory,” they are afraid of critical thinking.
They know the biggest threat facing their party is a new multi-racial generation of young people unafraid to speak truth to power.
That’s why they are waging a war on America’s teachers.

Take just a few minutes to scratch beneath the surface of "scientific"
SOR charade is filled with market interests (LETRS, CORE, O-G, etc.), think tank representatives (mostly right-wing), and no distinction between media articles/podcasts/surveys and scientific research

Whose SOR? That's the whole point of the blog. There are MANY MANY researchers who do not accept your "uncomfortable truths". You can't claim settled science when that many scientists still have major questions. To make that claim is misleading and false.

Calling multiple cueing "guessing" is the same sort of lie as the caricatures of CRT in the anti-CRT movement

Moats took issue with these reports and had their titles changed so it wouldn't implicate LETRS. Still, even research by Tillman & others showed no impact on practice.
