Ok, I know I haven't blogged in a while but... I needed to rant about this.
Has anyone paid attention to the leapfrog tag learner commercial??? Maybe because I am a teacher does this commercial irk me.
Basically the product advertised is supposed to help kids learn to read and instill in them a love for reading...but I have two issues with this....
#1 Do people not read to their children anymore?
I understand that some people don't have time to sit, etc.... but I also have an issue #2.
The commercial spurns a "scientific book" or "boring book" for the one that talks... and then a kid then rejects a the book saying that it doesn't talk. How does this encourage reading????
