I didn't know you were a teacher! Although the acronym "ESE" isn't familiar...(English as a Second...?)Originally Posted by wendyful04
Some parents put too much pressure, but too many don't put enough. Most kids don't like to read nowadays, and you should hear how they bitch in my classes "Oh! you mean we have to read 50 whole pages this week!!" Shit, I've had classes where I had to read 50 pages A DAY...but you'd think I was asking for the world...
Does your son watch a lot of tv? I was brought up with a love of reading, but I think it was fostered by my parents' "1 hour a day" tv rule (and of course, who the hell had video game systems back then? No one I knew!). No tv made reading so much more attractive.
