> “Our less fortunate students are the ones that suffer the most; primarily because many of them live in situations that are reading desserts. They don’t have access to the reading materials. They don’t have a choice in the reading materials that they are given to read,” said Newsum.
Reading desserts, yum.
I wonder what reasons they’ll come up with for this move… probably frame it as being better for the kids.
Back in the 90s, I’d say the STAR program worked nicely, anecdotally anyways. Add in the Pizza Hut personal pan pizza rewards. I was zooming through books once I found what I liked. Texas: let’s take things away from the kids.
ngl I was obsessed with the Pizza Hut program. It was SO fun as a kid.
I'm really concerned about the future... Without education & resources, we'll start raising isolated and less empathetic people, and things will just get worse...
Pizza Hut must've done that everywhere ... I wasn't in Texas for high school. And, I mean, it was a brilliant marketing coup. Everyone I knew in high school wanted Pizza Hut over any other brand. Only once discovering just-off-campus pizza options in college did I discover how truly execrable Pizza Hut was.
