[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, give your kid a copy of AARP Magazine. It is recommended for ages 55 and up, so will be a stretch challenge for your genius child. [/quote] Funniest post ive read here in a while. Very sad to see tiger parenting reach the level where one would brag about their elementary school child reading Lord of the Flies, Heart of Darkness, and other books with dark depressing themes. Oh but the books have big words! If your child is verbally gifted, let them do the NY Times crossword or read Anne of Green Gables. [/quote] Basically all children's literature from the 19th century (heck, even Nancy Drew from the 40s) has more sophisticated language than most students read now.[/quote] Agree Students need to read more period pieces, not SHw graphic novel dialogs or 2021 victim books with simple diction. They need to expand their multisyllabic vocabs at this age, not craft generic power points. [/quote]
