This is not a scholastic issue. schools can only do so much. The reason so many kids do not read has less to do with video games and cable TV tha it does with parents who do not read in their day to day, thereby offering up a very bad example to their children. no matter what happens,a child's parents are the single most important and constant source of inspiration and information. Most of what we learn we learn by watching what our parents do.
parents do not read? the schools are not gonna fix that.

I agree with you, I remember my dad as a young child he would always read the Newspaper, and he would make me read him the Newspaper in English and Spanish. That is why I can comprehend both Languages very well. But yes parents are the ones the instill most of our attitude towards everything in life.
