[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like we got a lot of kindergarten experts here! Maybe you should apply to MCPS because you're so knowledgeable! [/quote]

Believe it or not, many parents are also informed about children and their needs! We watch them the other 70 percent of the time.[/quote]

Lol, I'm not a teacher, I'm a parent and I can definitely tell you most of the parents in this county rely on the schools to raise their children. Maybe try reading to your kids yourself. I know...you'd actually have to do your job as a parent-I know, it's a crazy idea! [/quote]

So we should accept bad school policies because we are all bad parents and deserve bad things, got it.

Of course parents can and should read to their children, but that doesn’t magically fix the school environment.[/quote]

You all sound like insane maniacs. You’re losing your minds because once in awhile a YouTube video is played of a read aloud while meanwhile the kids are being read aloud to on a daily basis from their teacher. Like…. You refuse to accept it can happen both ways. (Not even both ways bc 99.9 percent of the time students are read aloud to in person and the tiny, remaining percentage is on YouTube. Once every 3 months) unhinged. It’s unreal, honestly. If I WAS a teacher, I would have left MCPS a loooong time ago because of parents like this. Most other districts have sane parents.[/quote]

+1. My first grader is definitely getting both experiences. She crowds around the teacher to read a printed book and she sees the words big and clear on the screen. She's personally more excited for the screens, but she also gets hours reading from physical books at home every week. There are some benefits to occasionally using the screen, it's not evil, but physical books are great too. Personally, I'm very happy with this balance. [/quote]
