SilentStag+FollowIs My 14-Year-Old’s Knowledge Gap Really ‘Normal’?Let me confide in you, friend: I left our school meeting with a head full of questions and a heart tangled in irony. My daughter—sweet, thoughtful, and a joy to be around—gets glowing reviews from her teachers. Yet, when I ask her about the capital of our state or the difference between the Civil and Revolutionary Wars, I’m met with blank stares. The school assures me this is typical for her generation. But is it? My older kids seemed to know so much more at her age. Are we lowering the bar, or am I just out of touch? Maybe the world really is changing, and I’m the one who needs to catch up. Or maybe, just maybe, we’re missing something crucial in our approach to learning. Have you noticed similar gaps in your own circles? Drop your thoughts below—let’s puzzle this out together! Maybe I’m overreacting… or maybe we all need to demand more. 🤔🌀 #EducationGap #Parenting #SchoolConcerns #Education1325Share
