Before sharing all the reasons to learn (included later in this post), I began with a story. When learning to type came up, her reaction didn't surprise me. Something to be mastered, then filed away for later. Anything that doesn't fit into the 'useful' box is often dubbed a waste of time and endured.
With each new math lesson or grammar rule, she wants to know the purpose. 'Why do I need to learn this?' our oldest asks at every turn. Please read our disclosure statement for more information.
