[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still can't believe we will have a generation of kids who struggle with reading/writing because of this crap. WTAF?! [/quote] It's not just because of this. [b]Fiction has been downgraded and devalued across the board since all of us went to school.[/b] The big irony of that is that reading and discussing fiction is what develops empathy, understanding different perspectives, writing and critical thinking. The very things we claim are important.[/quote] ? I really don't see this in my daughter's school, and children's and YA fiction is booming. [/quote] +1 They read assigned fiction books plus have a ton available for independent reading. [/quote]
