This is borne out in international testing, and I'm sure, from your own experiences with your children. I hear it all the time, especially since Lockdown... "my kids can't DO anything!" There is nothing wrong with these trendy new "skills", except they are totally ineffective if the children don't KNOW anything! And sadly that is what we see regularly. You simply can't "problem solve" or "think critically" or "make connections" if you don't have a sound basic knowledge base to build this higher thinking on. Even "Communication" is of questionable value if you don't have something of substance to say! (unless, of course, you want to be a politician! ;))It appears our school systems are developing a high proportion of children who cannot read or write correctly and effectively; physically and/or creatively, who struggle with basic maths, and who have little to no general knowledge. The research on the critical nature of all these in a child's cognitive development is overwhelming! but far too often the response these days seems to be "there is an app for that"! Hardly surprising kids lose confidence and show minimal resilience!
The answer, however, is very simple: TEACH them! Build a strong base of knowledge and skills! Letting young children "work it out for themselves", being "taught" by other students who really should be being enriched and challenged in their own learning, or simply plonking them in front of a screen continues to prove to be a dismal failure for all but a few.
Here at FOCUS we teach kids. Computers are OK for practice, but NOT for learning... we believe that is the job of TEACHERS.

FiSBO® was created by Ben Keehan former real estate salesperson to automate the sales process as most of what agents do is repetitive and very outdated. FiSBO® is the acronym For internet Sale By Owner.
We provide all the signs, photos, Virtual Tours, scripts, Assisted Open Homes, Inspections, TradeMe and Social Media posts. You can choose to prepay or postpay for your campaign from 1%+GST!
All campaigns start out with a price or by negotiation, then turn into an auction when there are multiple offers. Unlike a normal auction, all bids can include conditions with the dollar value of the BiD's displayed in the public listing (transparent) and buyers can change their bid or conditions at any time.
Once the vendor is satisfied they "Approve" one buyer's bid and the system sends all the detail to their solicitor to draft the agreement and keep all parties safe.
The latest campaign at 11a Windsor saw two buyers start bidding 1 day after the first open home then reaching their limits the vendor was satisfied by the third day. The solicitors had it all in hand and the house is now sold setting a record for the street and the vendors saved a considerable amount in fees compared to a traditional agent.
We want your business in 2021, so please call me to discuss your property campaign and find out how to FiSBO® your property

Do you want PERMANENTLY CHLORINATED WATER or CHLORINE FREE WATER for Napier? To vote: www.neighbourly.co.nz... The rough estimate to go fully chlorine free is an extra $50-$100million. Many Napier people suffer painful skin conditions they never had before the chlorine was added. Another part of the problem we’ve had since 2017 is that chlorine oxidizes with the manganese from some bore water and, instead of being flushed annually down the gutter, the chlorine-manganese sludge comes out the kitchen tap.
