[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good friends of ours on Capitol Hill with 3 kids, ages 7-11, went to stay with grandparents in Florida over winter break and did not return. They stayed to send the kids to 5-day/week schools in FL vs. 100% DL here in DC. The parents, Democrats, have never struck me as abject, mouthbreathing, Trump sycophant imbeciles.  They're just parents trying to do the right thing by their children, since the two younger kids weren't doing well with DL.  The bright 2nd grader could barely read. Nobody in the family has had Covid and I'm told that the kids have thrived in FL, making great strides to catch up academically, socially and emotionally.[/quote]

Why didn't the bright 2nd grader learn to read in kinder or first grade without DL? And the parents weren't reading to the child at all which helps with reading and word recognition.

This doesn't make sense.[/quote]

I used to work as a reading teacher. A small percentage of kids, without learning disabilities, will not to read until second grade.  This is true even if children have attended a good school full-time since ECE or kindergarten. The great majority of reading laggards will read in second grade if they get the right supports. DL doesn't necessarily provide those supports.  [/quote]
