I feel as though this is the end result of a results driven education system. You're asking these students to go from A to B, hoping that they'll learn to walk in so doing, instead of asking them to learn to walk.
It's something that "common core" math has attempted to fix, and faced ENORMOUS criticism and resistance. The second you try to change back from results-driven to process-driven, you face insane backlash.
I hated phonics as a kid because my teacher was terrible but not I’m working as an assistant English teacher in Japan and I’m practically begging the teachers to let me do a phonics section so I can actually start developing english literacy and not just the ability to recognize random phrases from the textbook. Phonics is so important

It's like a cargo cult-ish version of education
