Current Events > This American Mom is NOT Teaching her 5 y/o Son to READ!! Is She Hot??

(+) Yeah! (+)

Crystal Lowery, an american mother who lives in England with her husband have decided that they are NOT teaching their 5 y/o son to READ and has DEFENDED it!

She has started a heated debate on this after she said she is not teaching their 5 y/o son John, and 4 y/o daughter, Jenna to read and have decided to teach them more "important" things that's left him too busy to pick up a book.

She said "I'm not teaching my 5 y/o how to read. Don't get me wrong, we read books all the time to him. We've imagined ourselves in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory and we're 170 pages into Harry Potter's Chamber of Secrets. We're teaching him to enjoy stories, to get lost in characters. But we're not teaching him now to read. Not just yet. He's too busy learning other things"

They said they'd rather he spend his time doing other things and more important skills such "learning how to be a good sport" by waiting his turn and not gloating when he his a board game against his sister.

Crystal says he's learning how to build by playing with blocks and lego as he examines the physical integrity of the various structures he's made.

He's also learning how to exercise by looking after his dog and how to put away toys. He's learning ecosystems such as bugs, flowers and thunderstorms. He's also learning the key to happiness is to focus his blessings rather than complaining about what he doesn't have. He's also learning how to apologize and overcome hurt feelings and empathize with other kids.

She said he won't enter kindergarten with "advanced reading skills" but he'll know so much more such as making friends and following instructions.

But her post has mixed reactions as some have applauded her while many say it's entirely possible to teach all those things while also teaching him to read.

People believe she's holding her son back by not realizing his potential as reading is a basic life skills.

But Crystal has decided to favour a more European style approach to teaching rather than just phonics.

Is Crystal Hot? let's see what people think

Yep, these are just the actions of a backwards, lazy hick who doesn't want to parent.

Yes, she is hot, would slay.

Not teaching your child to read is pretty much child abuse in a developed country.
---

"comedian"
---

too busy learning other things? yea one of those things should be reading, idiot lol....

Posting that on Facebook makes her seem obnoxious. Why does she think the world gives a shit about how she educates her child?
---

I would fuck her hard, if you know what i mean
---

what a stupid person

Kid can do all that shit AND READ

nah man being a good sport at candy land is tough...don't want to overwhelm the little guy.

i'm pretty sure that there are some fairly big drawbacks to not teaching children to read from a young age
like, they should at least be comfortable with the alphabet by 5 years old and spelling some simple words

id fuck but yes shes a complete fucking moron

I feel so bad for that child. He's going to be so disadvantaged when he hits school. He'll probably be ostracized too.

have things changed? do most kids know how to read already when they start school? I was a little kid in the 80's and I remember being the only kid in my kindergarten class that could read. even in jr high, I remember people when asked to read for the class, struggling. it always pissed me off. I always felt like the people around me sucked at reading. did the trend reverse?

Wow, dude

That kid is gonna have a tough time in school.
---

My son is two and he can read (or at least had memorized) his favorite books.

This is just lazy parenting.
---

funny
---

Pretty sure most people learn to read in school. Idk why people are freaking out.
---

With a name like that...

Kids gonna grow up to be like Charlie Kelly

What next? Not teaching your child how to wipe their ass?

aka I don't want to teach him because that'd take work

you learn slower by then. the people who learn to read in school are the kids that in jr high and high school are still struggling when the teacher calls on them to read from a text book


"George.....Washington........crossed the......Del......aware....on Christmas day"

meanwhile a kid who learned to read before they started school reads smooth and quick

On one hand, this is a very intriguing developmental/social experiment. Would like to know how it turns out for the kid's psyche and social life after many years.

On the other hand, what the ****, woman, that's child abuse.
