[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I spoke to a friend whose son is in middle school in VA (public) and she told me her son reported that the kids don't actually talk at lunchtime because they're all on their phones. That is very alarming to me [/quote] Why? [/quote] I was at my son's BTSN last year (HS Senior) and in two of his classes - AP English and Honors Leadership/Communication - both teachers addressed the plummeting decline in our children's ability to verbally communicate and write expansively. They were both teachers with 20+ years of experience and said what they are seeing has become a critical problem in the past few years and they directly blamed it on the "texting/twitter/FB" culture that exists. It was an issue they were having to address in their classrooms in the form of remediation. So, OP, you are right to have concerns.[/quote]
