[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I blame Tiktok, Youtube, etc. Kids have super short attention spans and want to be fed content with minimal effort. My kid is a 4th grader and usually has to be forced to read. There are just so many other options. When I was a kid, there wasn't a whole lot else to do. And at least when we watched tv, it wasn't presented in infinite 30 second clips.[/quote] Super! You know who I blame? Parents. Even if you both work, it's your job to teach your kids to read and then to make them read. Back in the dark ages, parents taught their kids and like my parents, made us read. We didn't have so many distractions so a book was often your gaming system but parents can set rules but don't. [/quote]
