It's August and the little kiddies are going back to school. When I was in school I used to dred the ads for back to school supplies because that ment that summer was over. Some of the townships here in Indy have arlready started and are now going to year round school. 9 weeks on 2 weeks off all year. But that is not the point of today's post.
When I was in school back in the olden days school supplies were:
Notebooks
Pencils
Pens
Ruler
Crayons
Glue
Now:
Cell phone
I pad
Lap top
I know we are in an age of technology but come on!!!!!
Here they are no longer requiring writing. The kids learn to print then "Key Board" Cursive is gone. These kids will not know how to read or write their own signature. All there work is done on computers so they don't have to learn how to add and subtract, spell (no comment on my spelling. haha). They don't even know what an encyclopedia or dictionary is. We weren't even allowed a calculator until high school and they are using computers in grade school.
I know technology is an important part of our lives now, but at least teach them the basics before they move on to the keyboard.
