Actually, in the 40 years I've been around, I've never seen a teacher who didn't teach phonics, Sent from my BlackBerry Smartphone provided by Alltel

You can't memorize all of the words in the English language. You need skills to know how to approach a words you don't know. I did a lot of subbing in the middle schools during the whole language time. The kids who had no phonics stood out and had no clue how to approach words they hadn't memorized.
