[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why aren’t you reading to your kids regularly?

It’s recommended through middle school.

Your family should be doing this and reading a book a month and discussing.

Do you work nights or something?[/quote]
what?  Why on earth would you read to a MSer?  That's insane.  Talk about babying a tween/teen.

I have two kids.

One is gifted, and like a PP, classes at home school were insanely easy compared to the HGC (former name of CES), and they would typically have so much time in class that they'd do that night's HW, and the next day's as well if they got the assignment early enough.

The other is above average, not gifted, and even this DC said the writing was insanely easy in MS.  This DC was in the whatever enrichment MS class MCPS came up with as a consolation to the MS magnet lottery.

It gets better in HS, but not by much unless you take an AP class. And MS also does a crappy job preparing kids for the more rigorous AP classes.[/quote]

People of all ages listen to audiobooks.  How is that any different?[/quote]
no parental involvement.   Why would a 13/14 yr old need their parents to listen to a book?  And yea, my DD has been listening to audio books since she was 12. She doesn't need me to do it.  Stop babying your MSers.[/quote]

No one said a MSer NEEDS a parent to read a book to them, they suggested they might enjoy it and as a way to get them to engage in reading more, particular of books they may like but not immediately choose themselves. The point being that listening can be just as enjoyable a reading experience, for some more, than actually reading the text.

But yeah the rest of us our babying kids because we’re open minded enough to consider alternatives to forcing our kids to read books during the summer🙄[/quote]
