:iagree:It is so sad, how everything has to be related to multi media, in order for most children to be interested or understand. The average public school child has a cell phone, lap top, mp player, some form of video game system, and parents who work. There is not much family interaction. Their day is rush, rush. There isn't any time for reading together or enjoying the child's interest. When you think about all of that, it really wouldn't surprise you that they couldn't figure it out. How sad it is. This just makes me even more grateful that I am able to homeschool.
