[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Teaching kids about computers” is such a lame excuse. Kids have no trouble at all with picking up computers. I know I only had typing in school and then easily went to college where I worked only on a computer. (I had a home computer to write essays during middle and high). [/quote] Tech does not equal computer science. It’s a total joke. The kids pick up the apps easily at home with tv etc…. There is also a window of opportunity that closes by the end of 8th grade… if certain fundamental reading and writing skills are not mastered by this time…. And your cherub trots off to high school- they will be totally hosed. It’s extremely hard to get a 15 or 16 year old boy to spend more time reading to improve his comprehension. And the connection of writing by hand on paper with reading fluency is clear. Take that away in the younger years and the ship has sailed. [/quote]
