Could it be that the K-12 education is woefully incapable of seriously adopting science-based approaches to reading due to its corrupt political structure and toxic culture of self over service and loyalty over competence?

You touched on a valid issue. Teachers who think SOR too will pass 1) need to see the evidence that it works; 2) receive continued funding for training like LETRS from the state. California simply has not invested money in early literacy and early numeracy instruction and coaching. It's hard work that needs more support than teachers have received.

I think you have an answer to your own question. I have more hope than you.

I find it very hopeful that there is such a huge grassroots movement out there trying to solve the literacy crisis, one classroom at a time, parents and teachers inspired to seek their own solutions.
