It is tragic that so many children are not reading and writing at a level that will allow them to succeed in life. I believe schools and parents are doing the best they can, but still a majority of kids in our state are not proficient. I sought counsel from Shari Most when I was considering EBLI. I expressed hesitation about spending the time and money on EBLI training. She said, “If you know about EBLI and don’t do it, I think it is educational malpractice.” I wasn’t sure at the time if she was correct, but I now agree with her. I only wish that I had found it sooner.
