[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our highly rated public school system does a poor job with writing and vocabulary. They are great at STEM. I also was shocked when I asked my 13-year old some vocabulary words and he didn’t know the meaning of them. This is a very high score SOL, GT, straight A kid. We have books all over the house and read to them as kids. They go through books fairly fast. [b]I think kids in general spend way too much time on electronics and watching YouTube when they could be reading. We had an electronics diet this summer.[/b] We have played a ton of bananagrams and learn a few new words a day. My 11-year old son does naturally pick up many more words than my older son, excellent speller, better vocabulary. My older son has always been a poor speller. They read similar amounts.[/quote] This and texting with acronyms does not lend itself to proper grammar and vocabulary.[/quote]
