If that's the case then I have a question to throw out here. Then don't you think that the parents should take a more active role to help their ums to read? Which poses a problem with many families both parents work outside the house due to various reasons. My thought is we send our offspring to school to be educated yet we also need to do our part in assisting that education at home also.
Ideally, this would be the case. And indeed, in some and in an increasing rarity of cases, this does happen, like with me. I was fortunate enough to have a stay at home mom that taught me to love reading before she passed away. But you stated a good chunk of the problem, bear. Many times both parents are working, sometimes multiple jobs just to get by, and along the way, time runs out. Other cases, the parent(s) simply don't care, or think the educational system is fine.
And there is the case with NCLB, that when the um learns they don't have to learn, not do homework or anything but what they want to learn or do, and still get passed anyways, there removes any motivation to learn. That's why I don't like NCLB.
