We keep blaming teachers for declining literacy.
But we're raising a generation that consumes information through 15-second videos, endless scrolling, and constant notifications. Then we assess them as though they've spent years building the reading stamina to sit with a complex text for 30 or 60 minutes.

Scrolling is a sprint.
Reading is a marathon.

Today's students interact with language differently than any generation before them. They skim. They swipe. They jump from one idea to the next. Yet our literacy assessments still require sustained attention, deep comprehension, inference, vocabulary, and the ability to remain engaged with complex texts.
Those are essential skills. They always will be.
But if children spend far less time reading books outside of school than previous generations, why are we surprised when reading stamina declines?

This isn't about blaming parents or lowering expectations. It's about recognizing a profound cultural shift. Schools are increasingly being asked to develop skills that many children have fewer opportunities to practice beyond the classroom.

Teachers matter.
Instruction matters.
But literacy has never begun with a standardized test.

It begins with hearing stories, seeing adults read, turning pages, asking questions, imagining new worlds, and discovering that some things are worth staying with long after the first page.

If we want stronger readers, we can't place the entire burden on teachers. Building literacy has always been, and will always be, a shared responsibility between schools, families, and the culture our children grow up in.

@Hoorain154 You look stunning!

If schools ever focused on relationships the way they should, it would be transformational.
However, I’m afraid this is how those meetings would go:
“According to Benchmark 4B, your emotional output is below district average.”
“Please increase warmth by 12%.”
“Eye contact compliance is at 87%.”
“Reminder: empathy must be documented.”
FYI: Please upload your compassion logs before the mandatory meeting on Friday at 3:00.

If a parent asks how they can help their child succeed in school, please start with the BASICS:

•𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩…8-10 hours

•𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧…must limit sugar

•𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦…let them fail without quickly trying to save them

•𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐀𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 30 𝐦𝐢𝐧/𝐝𝐚𝐲…preferably something they want to read! 📖

•𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞/𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲…helps kids with several life skills including problem solving & sharing

Important reminder.

Just making sure I understand this correctly, they pardoned armed J6 rioters who LITERALLY attacked cops, they glorify Kyle Rittenhouse, but want you to believe an ICU Nurse with a phone and a registered firearm was the domestic terrorist?

The hypocrisy is fucking astounding.
