They are great at using their smart phones and trying out new apps, just watch them.
In my neighborhood my neighbors from India don’t have cable TV< they make their kids study and get good grades.
They moved to my neighborhood for the schools.
Millennials......They’re tech dependent, not technically skilled.
It could be that the high ranking of some government schools has nothing to do with the school. It merely takes credit for the hard work of after-schooling done by the families.
It has been my anecdotal observation that academically successful children who are institutionalized for the schooling do the same amount of homework at the kitchen table as my homeschoolers did all day. Their parents share similar value and home habits as mine.
Conclusion: Schools don't teach. Kids learn in the home. The institutional school merely provides a curriculum for the child to follow in the home.
In English class, my ninth graders were making fun of how skilled they were on their electronics hinting that they wouldn’t need this literature, spelling grammar, etc.

They need to know that their texting skills are not impressive, it’s motivating
We exalt them, ‘oh Brandon is so great he is a whiz at the computer’
WEll, yeah, he’s not afraid of breaking it, he is in te learning years of his life and can figure out the language and he doesn’t have a brainload of things to think about to manage to run the house.
WE need to stop being so impressed with them
I cannot get my lawn cut. I’m not doing it. Not one adolescent in my neighborhood will come over and cut my lawn. I hire a firm to do it.
Public schools, lol? Jokes on them.
