With a disruption of regular families, and no “grands” or “aunts” around, and some around that are nonfunctional because of their own illiteracy, just giving every child an iPad and high speed wifi isn’t going to fix anything.
If every literate adult taught even one person how to read, at any age, it would still not make a significant change.
And aaaaaallllll that money is just getting pissed away.
So, you cannot help everyone, just like spaying/neutering dogs and cats, there is still going to be a problem. But if you can, then do what you can.
Be a mentor to someone. If all you have ever done is just survive, you still have SOMETHING worthy to teach. We can’t keep relying on idiots.
Agree......
Part of my management style in business was to set both a mentorship program and encourage continuing education for all employees from the loading dock to the executive suite.....
Good management practice is to encourage the positive growth of your employees.....
This translates to your personal life with both your own family, friends, and acquaintances.....
This requires you to lead by example as well.....
Parents are the CEO of their families, they must encourage and lead. if they aren’t literate there are plenty of community resources to encourage education.
