Hmmm ... Joe sez he wants to make sure every child
can read by 3rd grade.
Most of my gen could read quite well by 2nd grade,
sometimes 1st if the teach was esp good .....
Same here. Schools and especially parents aren't teaching the young
like they did in previous generations. The lack of discipline,
expections, and mannors are quite different today.
I don't trust "the system" alone to teach the young. The government has >>made several generations of poor citizens. The left certainly is to

Nah. It's parents. Not all of them, mind. But parents aren't forcing
their kids to excel in school except the Asian and Jewish ones.

My parents just had lots of college and beyond books around. After the
basics I went through encyclopedias and reading anything I could get my
hands on. TV at the time had various educational stuff on - perhaps pre- college and I watched those. I think those were from WGN and PBS. I loved learning and eventually self tought many subjects. Loved the sciences -
many of my parents and grandparents books. My parents peers were mostly teachers and cold steer me to what I wanted along the way. College was
mostly easy. I didn't do well in chemistry. Loved electronics and dabled
in amateur radio, before picking up computers around the 70s. Along the
way I couuld take anything apart and put it back together.
Find what motivates your kids and feed them. Also a must is teach good
morals and making friends.
