Them apples

Outcomes observed for Principals and District Superintends who have faithfully implemented DI:
1. All the parents will love him because their kids are reading, but the scores won’t change, and he’ll get such bad press from the newspapers that the school board will fire him anyway.
2. All the parents will love him because their kids are reading, and the scores will go up, so he’ll be accused of cheating and the school board will fire him anyway.
3. All the parents will love him because their kids are reading, but the scores will go down because the Whole Language tests aren’t aligned with sane instructional sequences, so he’ll be accused of failing and the school board will fire him.
4. All the parents will love him because their kids are reading, so he’ll leave the district to start a charter school.
