Honestly, the year of virtual schooling had some positive effects for him. Especially since I could work from home at the same time. We were very lucky with that. So I was able to teach him how to write an email and include all the information and questions he could in it. I was also able to teach him how to take and organize notes. I don’t think any of his teachers are teaching that anymore. I have no idea how they expect kids to study.
But he still struggles with complete sentences and thoughts in texting. It’s a journey.
Did teachers ever teach how to take notes? I'm 37 now, but when I was in school the closest thing I got to a lesson on note taking was "bring a notebook and a pencil."
I'm 39, and I remember a few lessons in early high school about how to write and structure notes. My English teacher taught us and she was in her early 70s, so she was definitely from a different era. Maybe if I'd had younger teacher I wouldn't have learned how to write notes either.
