I've developed my own system for teaching English but can't get a publisher because it is too scientific i.e. logical (hence the title "LogicLists English"): Sample below.
Any suggestions on finding someone who isn't so NT that they can't see the application of such material in schools? In Scotland they're going back to basis, with sound based systems and mine is the same but not aimed at humans (They whine that the world is becoming more and more illiterate but when you offer them an answer they don't want it because it requires 'effort'. Idealists keep lowering the goalposts because they want to be 'liked' rather than be 'effective'. Hey guys I've got news for you - education isn't a beauty contest, anymore than coal mining is. Lets get back to practicality (What works - not what doesn't but you'd like it to in an 'ideal world').
House Mice * Ace Bus
Mouse Lice Lace Gus
Louse Nice Grace Cuss
Dowse Rice Face
Grouse Twice Brace
Vice
* (Soft 'C' sound, which equals S, not K)
