The title is misleading in another way too: the bulk of the article is really about how the standard approach to teaching reading has been contradicted by research. Since that's more interesting, we changed the title to a representative phrase from the article. Hopefully the discussion can get more specific, too.

(No doubt a hair-pulling America-is-falling-behind lament is better for clicks, since headline writers know what they're doing, but undoing their deeds is part of the job here.)
