[quote=Anonymous]There is a lot wrong with elementary education, but I think the home environment can make up for it. My 2nd grader reads for hours after struggling as a kindergartener. People cannot believe his reading stamina. I credit putting in a home library, modeling reading for pleasure and enrichment, and getting rid of screen time. We have no video games or iPads here and only watch tv occasionally… maybe twice a month. He gets plenty of screen time at school, at friends’ houses, restaurants, parties, and get togethers.
