[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I blame parents giving their children devices before they learn to read [/quote]

I would love to remove all devices but the teachers keep assigning homework in apps. Get rid of the garbage apps.[/quote]

Get all tech out of classrooms until AT LEAST high school (I'd be on board for through 12th!)  Kids will not read books when there is a more alluring alternative (tech games). The pull is just too strong for both the student (more "Fun) and the teacher (less "work.")  If the school day were slow and boring, with reading, writing and arithmetic - our kids would be MUCH better off.

We have to take back our culture and our schools.  Make life REAL again.  Do not give your kid a cell phone until AFTER 8th grade.  And parents - put your phone away when home also.  What kind of example are we setting when we are sitting on the couch on our phones for 3 hrs a night?  Watch TV with your kids, let them see YOU read a book.  Hard to harp on the kids when we don't do it either.[/quote]
