#TeachWriteober19
Day 14
I got into a Twitter war with a stranger today. After Tweeting out what I considered a powerful comment overheard during an #ILA19 presentation, several literacy experts decided to chime and give their opinion.
Although several folks found the quote validating and affirming, it didn't take long for naysayers in the Science of Reading camp to pounce. Don't get me wrong. Structured literacy is something I want to learn more about and study, but when people write crappy things, it's hard to stay positive.
In an effort to take the high road and stand my ground, I quoted my favorite thought leader of all time, Dr. Brené Brown. I firmly believe I can believe in the Science of Reading and the LOVE of Reading at the EXACT SAME TIME. Perhaps the comparative adjective "even more" was problematic, and I can understand why this person took offense to the quote, but I am super tired of false dichotomies and extreme views. *Sigh*
