At times I think yeah, but then I look at how quickly young people pick up certain things and think if it's too simple they'll look at it, think it's boring and move one. I look at kids' computer skills, which in grade school surpasses my parents, even though my mother worked for the DoT for years. Then I look at reading skills and so many kids are behind in reading comprehension. Lay it out in charts and tables and they're good, but drop some heavy prose and their eyes glaze over. I still peruse my 1E and 2E books even when I'm not using them but it seems younger people aren't tought to approach the written word the same way.</p></blockquote><p></p>
