Master educators do not want to put it into schools because of a highly felt risk of failure. They're afraid of change, and most schools are also on a nickel-and-dime budget. Especially my district, which recently lost four million dollars, and as had to make drastic changes to keep going.
Because there is no concrete proof that PhotoReading works, and no concrete proof that it doesn't work, along with the(I will definitely admit) misleading advertising claims, this has made many uncertain, unsure, and unapproving of teaching PhotoReading in schools.
Also, most schools do not teach kids how to learn, and have other problems piled on top of this to deal with. Rather than usually altering their teaching methods to differing learning styles, public schools in this country have labeled an overadundance of children with 'learning disabilities' like ADD/ADHD.
