[quote=Anonymous]I'm really surprised to hear that some high schoolers haven't taken keyboarding classes much sooner. My kids learned keyboarding through nightly online work (school-paid subscription) in second grade, and they learned cursive in kindergarten. How can children get through all of the in-class writing assignments in elementary and middle school if they can't write quickly in cursive? And how can they get through homework writing projects in late elementary and middle school if they can't type quickly on a computer? Of the other subjects mentioned, I consider financial literacy to be my responsibility as a parent, but I would love for my kids to study economics in high school. I would hope that public speaking is integrated across the board. By high school, I hope my kids will be focused on: research, writing languages math science world history/geography and US civics problem-solving across the spectrum[/quote]
