[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The overfocus on STEM is causing this. Wait till high school. My ninth grader at JR isnt even reading a book -/ just texts from books! And they read then out loud in class![/quote] Reading out loud in class is a good way to figure out who doesn't know how to read. There are many who don't know how to read in 9th grade in DCPS.[/quote] It also helps with auditory and public speaking skills. Lots of well read people out there who can't pronounce words properly because they never heard the word read properly. Helps making sure kids are paying attention; helps kids overcome stage fright or any fear of public speaking. Nothing is a total panacea. [/quote] Reading out loud in a 9th grade class is a complete joke. Come on. [/quote]
