Schools in general have developed new ways in teaching children how to read, governed by state guidelines. Many of our teachers and schools have relied on computers to do their job in teaching a child to read. What ever happened to the old ways in teaching a child to read? Writing words on a blackboard. Teaching pronunciation by writing, not typing. A teacher sitting down with their students reading a book with them, pointing out the words as they read instead of handing them a book then sitting them in front of a computer to answer questions about it. Its truly sad that the old ways are forgotten by many. We wonder why our kids have problems with reading and comprehension. We've become lazy and rely to much on computers in doing the teaching. I rate this school a 6 of 10

Students don't get homework everyday. Many don't bring their book bag home. When I was a kid I had a lot of homework, book reports and projects to work on all the time. Nothing like it is now.

Not everyone learns the same way. Some teachers need to adapt to how students learn. Some need out of the ordinary practices to get them to understand better.
