This, my daughter will be 5 in a few months and she knows address, town, state. I doubt the zip code.
Well, she knew the zip code. I didn’t think she would because we moved almost two years ago and.....well, why would she care?
I know for a fact this is the case with my 10yo. 6yo still working out some of the details.
Mine cannot. And they don't like round answers if they can see the exact time. If they ask me what time it is and I say 10:30 but thephone says 10:27 they freak all the way out. That's the 10 and under crowd. The teens don't care about anything.
We made sure both of ours could by K so we can yell "watch your six" and not have then just standing their picking their noses (like usual)
No I guess I glossed over that point. Mine doesn't as well because I never once taught him it. No reason he needs to know our zip code. But if I did teach him it then he'd have no problem knowing it.
I would never call anyone's kids morons. I'm sorry if you took offense. Did you try teaching your child the zip code and they can't remember it? My son has a great memory. Really has nothing to do with smarts.
I should've added a winkie thing- I was kidding. even though my kids are actually morons.
weed down?The reason I asked is that yesterday my 1st period students had to fill out an order form for their (jr hi) graduation gowns.
2 didn't know their street number.
1 didn't know how to spell her street name.
4 or 5 didn't know their zip code.
And even though I wrote on the board and instructed them verbally that they had to use a blue or black pen...one girl did it with a green highlighter.
And these are kids from a good neighborhood at a school with better than above average test scores.
So not from bako then. Gotcha.The reason I asked is that yesterday my 1st period students had to fill out an order form for their (jr hi) graduation gowns.

Good question. No, actually. Weed is up. We've had a small epidemic of kids getting caught with wax/vape pens or whatever they are.otb_lifer said:
