Students should have a skill of being able to read. I see people have trouble being able to read. We should also be able comprehend these words as if it was the new “the,” it’s amazing how many people we know around us, have trouble reading. It’s odd how some can read so fluently and others have way too much trouble. Did they not read the books that we read in class.

I love to read. It gets my mind off of other thought. I get to go on adventures while I read. Some can’t even read simple words without having to take a moment to figure out what word it is.Reading books can help within the time of stress, it lets you get an escape from reality. I  just want others to like to read as much as they should. I also wish for them to be able to read the words they see without any trouble.

Student should also be able to do simple math, without a calculator. A classmate of mine can solve almost any problem in his head without showing any work. There are others who can’t even simplify a fraction without a calculator.

Students need to have skills that can make their lives easier. Instead, we keep getting to higher level math and reading, and too many of the students can’t keep up.
