And it was one of the rare things that I did not have a hand in teaching him. By the time he was two, he could count far beyond 200 in English, 30 in French, 10 in Spanish, three in Japanese (though I will admit that Big Bird taught him that), could spell almost any word you asked him to (including xylophone), knew his ABCs, colours and shapes and could read fluently by the age of 3. It was a good thing he didn't know how to tie his shoes, or his kindergarten teacher would have had nothing left to teach him, lol! I find it sad that kids today can find the exact channel they want to be on, can find the website they're looking for, or know more about my cell phone than I do, but have no clue how to do basic things like tie their own shoes.BFF ;)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625295153752236458.post-30266903695069714902011-06-18T07:06:23.279-07:002011-06-18T07:06:23.279-07:00I know Marilyn, it is a sad state of affairs this ...I know Marilyn, it is a sad state of affairs this north american culture is is!Vivianapachecofinearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04801062719450490568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625295153752236458.post-13286799144255381072011-06-18T06:48:52.978-07:002011-06-18T06:48:52.978-07:00One of my rants is the fact that schools are going...One of my rants is the fact that schools are going to stop teaching children how to write cursive....
