I do think that kids and parents should actually talk more instead of texts due to the fact that kids these days talk differently in text and sometimes a parent could take things the wrong way. To avoid any issues, calling one another would be so much better. I would read this book just to see and get my opinion about it.

Not knowing how to speak to another person face to face will hurt everybody in the long run. And for any of you who've done student teaching and viewed the "written work" students are turning in - spelling words the way people do in text messages - it's obvious this is making students, in not such a nice way, stupid.<br /><br />"i h8 da way dis mke tings seem, bt i wnt do it."Freddy in the Chihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17686093471056146728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-74326678162593610452012-04-23T12:53:23.199-05:002012-04-23T12:53:23.199-05:00I will check this out!

Will it teach students something other than texting?Mariselahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721093734840077241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040911948950965125.post-31889629031175860642012-04-23T08:51:12.704-05:002012-04-23T08:51:12.704-05:00I agree with the above comments -- this book looks...I agree with the above comments -- this book looks great!

My mom is more on the side of the "what in the world is she trying to say comments" rather than it seems your mom is a bit more savvy.
