Unfortunately, it is very difficult to move the Titanic with any speed. The problem is that you need to get "people with power" on your bandwagon - your senators, representatives, OEA officials. This doesn't happen easily, but it is what must be done. I don't have any magic bullets that you don't have - write to them, lobby them, get face-to-face meetings with them. I don't think the textbook people are conspiring against you - they just do what they've always done to make money as publishers. Publishing is in crisis - watch carefully what is happening and you may see an opportunity. Thanks for being a concerned citizen - I wish I had some good answers for you, but I just don't.

Thanks for input on Margie Boule's site. I'm teaching English here in Korea (I retired from teaching 7/09 in Oregon) and this is my second contract in Korea (first was in 2000). I have a dream: I was trained in the Riggs explicit phonics technique and I became a believer--a believer that this system could save billions of hours of learning time for native speakers and foreign learners. riggsinst.org is their webpage, but it is not convincing. You have to see it to believe me that this program is 1000% better than any phonics program currently used in public schools in America. Why, after having "been around" for 70 years, is this program only in private schools? Apparently many states have "Textbook Adoption Committees" that are vehicles for the powerful texbook publishing lobby to control billions of dollars worth of "the latest and greatest language arts education programs." I do not casually spout "conspiracy theory" but can you check this out?? I tried to get my home distsrict, the Forest Grove School District, to adopt Riggs and I was patted on the head by the school board: "Thanks for your input, Mary. Next!" All my documentation is on Mediafire.com. I am trying for a break here in Korea to introduce Riggs. Currently, Korea is in a dilemma with parents investion billions of won over decades with their children not learning English well enough to "get ahead." Only when children go to an English-speaking country to live, (usually Canada or America) do they aquire enough literacy to meld with the English-speaking world. Many must come back to Korea, bbecause this country is making huge strides toward "westernization." Please talk to me! Mary Whitmore Hello, Carol. Thanks for input on Margie Boule’s site.
