Um, unless kids are watching and not reading while on their devices, what is the reading problem?
Perhaps the topic is wrong.
Is it kids can't read or is it the kids can't answer questions about what they read?
If they can't read, media must be a watching tool, not reading tool.
If they can read,then we need to see the tests and determine the real issue: comprehension?
Honestly, I hated multiple choice tests on reading comprehension. I could explain everything I read, but questions sometimes were more confusing.
I'd rather have a teacher ask the question,I would answer or ask to clarify their question, and give an answer.
Those multiple choices sometimes were hooked on a specific answer yet multiple choices were just as correct as the next.
More freaking foreign military bases to add to the already bloated 900+ the US already has.
We should we closing bases.
We should be bringing troops hone.
We should be changing laws that require, by law,troops in foreign nations.
We should end treaties demanding a US presence in other countries.
Put 900+ bases on the borders of the US.
The only legal entry points will be bottle necks.
All other sections of the border will be US military bases. Cross under,through, or over at your peril.
