it's an especially good weekend to log off and do soul-nourishing things: board games, gardening, writing, hiking in late summer splendor, picking basil, reciting poems, reading for education, reading for joy, reading for any reason whatsoever.
It's truly shocking what a literate culture we had a century ago. Millions of working-class people reading Austen, Sophocles, Thucydides. The decline in literacy is the result of a concerted attack by the rich on the lower classes to disempower us. You have to resist by reading.

If your local high school has, like many schools, 2/3 of the students not reading proficiently but a graduation rate approaching 100%, you should be asking the administration some very uncomfortable questions.
The problem isn’t people misreading NAEP scores. The problem is kids can’t read—and defenders of balanced literacy still want to debate definitions instead of solutions.
My older daughter is at a piccolo lesson and my younger daughter is at the farmer's market with Dad so I actually got to take a long walk with my best girl instead of outsourcing it to the kids. Heelers are crazy, but you'll never find a more loyal friend.

The problem with this piece is that there is a chasm of difference between reading at grade level and reading fluently. The argument that "Actually, only a third of students can't read at grade level," shouldn't reassure anyone.
If your kid doesn't know their math facts COLD, they can't do upper division math
Learning math facts ages 10+ is possible but kids' brains are more receptive when less than 8 (yes, really)
I know you don't want to... but your kid NEEDS you to help them learn math facts♥️

“Just let people enjoy things” has gone too far, I’m afraid. Some behaviors are harmful and should be discouraged. Letting machines do your writing results in rapid cognitive decline. Some media is best avoided. Keeping your brain from becoming mush has never been more urgent.
As the university system collapses and millions succumb to tech-induced brain rot, the concept of the autodidact—a self-educated person who loves learning for its own sake—will become more important than ever. Read widely. Form study groups. Let the library be your college.
There is no one that wants a relationship with you more than your child. They want to talk, learn, swim, cook, clean, travel, read & more with you. They don't care what you are wearing or if the place is instagram-worthy. They just want YOU
Don't waste it♥️
