[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my daughter's elementary school conference I asked a few questions regarding prepping for upcoming state tests and the teacher (who I love btw) said "we can't do it that way anymore as the kids don't have the attention spans."

On my end, I have worked hard to ensure that my kids have not become technological zombies. However, I feel like they are doomed anyway because they will never be challenged or have high learning standards placed on them as they are dumbing down their public school experience. It just becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. [/quote]

Homeschool or send them to a private school. [/quote]

DP.  I DO homeschool.  We primarily use textbooks.     I am more concerned about ability to think than attention spans.  There is a lot of development that is not happening inside the brain of kids today that is necessary regardless of their ability to access google instantly on their phones.  There will be huge consequences.
