directions
By Newbie

Clip to ScrapBook   
My kids are in middle school and still can't follow directions. I go over test directions at the beginning to make sure everyone understands, and sometimes the kids still miss questions because they didn't follow directions. I just mark it wrong and underline the part in the directions that they didn't follow. I was a little more lenient in the year, but now I agree with the other person who said you should just start out with high expectations. If they fail, tough...they'll eventually learn to follow directions.
