@ElijahColeman21 Roth IRA not counted as an asset on your kid's financial aid applications someday. Taxable account is.

[J Chil @JChil18630]

@endurance831 @Mr_Husky1 No.

@sofi_grey44 @sircalebhammer Works 3 days a week and the kid is in daycare.

@NielsHoven This is really terrible advice. The goal is not to have a child sounding out a word as early as possible. You really want a child not being able to recognize and state a letter name? "Hello John, welcome to prek. How do you spell your name?" "Juh, Ah, huh, Enn". Hmmmm...ok.

[J Chil @JChil18630]

@fwmarqix Yeah...this totally sounds like it happened. Even your fake story doesn't make sense. She scored a 60% with an entirely incorrect answer key? Come on.

@a_panifex Blanket rules for the "average" American. Hint: most Americans are overweight, meanwhile most healthy weight kids could still benefit from milk. Mine drink whole milk every day despite daycares only being permitted to use 1%.

@leedlish @rovabtw Not how it works.

@DrBtheVERB @rastokke LOL

[J Chil @JChil18630]

@DrBtheVERB @rastokke What would make you think that is not happening?

[J Chil @JChil18630]

@DrBtheVERB @rastokke We aren't teaching Calculus INSTEAD of compound interest (exponential functions), we teach it long after.

@teachthemx3 My 6yo daughter is similar. Reads chapter books no problem, but spelling needs work. I'm not worried. I think the more times they see a word in print and write it themselves, they'll pick it up. I hear encoding and decoding are different skills that don't always emerge together.

@GreatLakesWife_ Both my kids woke every 1-2 hours for the first COUPLE YEARS. We also tried "everything" - all the advice you probably already get. Life changed when we just threw in the towel and co-slept. Its what they needed, and is biologically the most natural anyway. Not surprising.

[J Chil @JChil18630]

@ryangrim Yes - bacteria is everywhere.

[J Chil @JChil18630]

@JamesAFurey I wanted my teaching practice to reflect that this year. Then I read through all of my 504/IEP and found a great many with the accommodation that they can take classwork home to complete. It seems spec ed was one step ahead of me trying to make students held accountable - again.

[J Chil @JChil18630]

@LotsBizzy @jk_rowling My daughter received that book last year, and I had to work hard not to bawl reading it to her.

@jeremyct Most single folks making middle income don't live on their own with a decently high car payment. Living nearly beyond your means.

[J Chil @JChil18630]

@FixingEducation The tolerance of it.

@AutismCapital @Polymarket If my 5% mortgage rate went up 10%, is the mortgage rate now 15% or 5.5%? That is why we clarify.

@Dale_Chu @MeganTagami @arielgilreath @devnabose @carlibrosseau @drsuperville My socially promoted algebra 2 students have no chance to pass at age 16 with a 2nd grade level mastery of mathematics.

@CJ__Yangster @constantlyshan @grok Did Mississippi law change to require students to read by the end of the the 3rd grade? If so, when did that law go into effect, and what was the educational ranking outcomes afterwards?
