[quote=Anonymous]The combination of smart phones/tech and schools teaching to the test has had a huge impact on a whole generation of people. It is really a shame. Many well meaning people in education have eliminated the building of reading stamina, vocabulary, and background knowledge. Common core standards changed the meaning of reading comprehension from making meaning from what you have read to being able to answer specific text based questions or take meaning. It eliminated the need for deep analysis. Kids who come from educated and higher income family were insulated from this by way of school choice and living in language and experience rich environments. [/quote]
