Ismail O Postalcioglu @postalcioglu.net · 11/12/2024Y'all replace knowledge with literacy so much that you make people try to prove their method of acquiring knowledge as "reading". Which is completely unnecessary. Knowledge is knowledge. Literacy is but a method to get it. 040 0
Ismail O Postalcioglu @postalcioglu.net · 11/12/2024If knowledge is identified by one method of acquiring knowledge, that's the problem. Reading is a method, not knowledge itself. "What counts as reading" is just semantics replacement, not a solution to the main problem - which is denying other types of knowledge acquirement. 000 0
Ismail O Postalcioglu @postalcioglu.net · 11/12/2024What does this have to do with labeling it as "reading"? Blind people can listen to audiobooks all they want.

Ismail O Postalcioglu @postalcioglu.net · 11/12/2024Teachers' job is making kids learn, not "making kids learn by reading". Publishers' job is publishing knowledge material, not "publishing reading material". If you focus too much on what counts reading, you miss the main point on both. 000 0
