Early 80s; very proud of my Wonderful Woman Underoos. Walking around in my older sister’s marching band boots to complete the outfit.

How about 25% of the population live on an entirely different island from Auckland or Wellington?
Whereas the three largest cities in Scotland are all less than a three hour drive from each other?
Hardly a comparison.

Finally saw a page from the book in question and honestly the whole “it’s because it is such an early phonics reader” argument goes out the window for me. The ‘ea’ in speaks and ‘ng’ in sing are digraphs. If you are already including digraphs then the kids are ready for a much wider vocab range.

Curious about those studies?
You will have to be more specific, because when I google “elastometric” it autocorrects to “elastomeric” and gives me results like this, which my students *definitely* would not have been able to wear.

To be fair, many people were *never* willing to be inconvenienced by strangers. Whether it was bringing a dimestore novel to a park bench or sticking your nose in a newspaper on the train, throughout history many people have always hated being talked to by strangers.

Finished up a knitting project in time for cooler weather. Well, technically it has been nearly finished for weeks, just had to weave the ends in. 🧶
