Also, regardless of the absurdity, I'm not the one who made the original equivalence, as I'm sure all of us who have practiced reading comprehension already know.
Well...I personally think I've taken the high road considering how "absurd" my statements apparently are. Pseudo politeness actually is pretty respectful when you consider the alternatives.
Because I disagree. The basics of literacy eh? See Dick run? That's all you need, eh? Do you have research that backs up your assertion?
Any skill decreases from lack of practice. Even riding a bike.

"An early comprehensive review of the literature summarized several findings regarding summer loss.2 The authors concluded that: (1) on average, students’ achievement scores declined over summer vacation by one month’s worth of school-year learning, (2) declines were sharper for math than for reading, and (3) the extent of loss was larger at higher grade levels. "
"The recent literature on summer loss has been mixed. One study using data from over half a million students in grades 2-9 from a southern state (from 2008-2012) found that students, on average, lost between 25 – 30 percent of their school-year learning over the summer" |
You are being deliberately obtuse, nasty, and dismissive. I'm not going to play your game.
