[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School should be preparing kids for adult life. In your adult life, work or otherwise, how often do you use a book? I mean an actual bound book? When you are ingesting information for work, are you able to do it even though it isn't presented in a bound format? I would guess rarely. And the world is increasingly not involving the printed page. I suggest that our generation's sense of discomfort, is rooted in thinking that what we did something is the "right way" to do something. I also suggest the studies on learning are influenced by the change in times. Give it a decade.[/quote] Children learn a lot more than adults, so adults aren't role models here. Adults who read more substantive content are reading more books than adults who read more junk. [/quote]
