“But what Jan wants is not the opinion of experts who have⟳ taught thousands of teachers and thousands of children; she wants “a direct⟳ comparison of that approach⟳ with approaches that use⟳ multi-linguistic, connectionist word study⟳ methods, phonology + orthography + meaning and morphology without etymology” — as though it is possible to study⟳ phonology, orthography, meaning and morphology in an etymologyless vacuum.
