Public schools often harm children. My son was taught "whole language" reading. It left him unable to read and the damage took years to fix.

That was a huge mistake in schools. I was not taught that for which I am thankful. I have loved to read since I learned how. I always have books on hand. I take them everywhere I go--to the doctor's office, to church when I get there early, etc. Now, they are advising people who are getting new driver's licenses to bring a book. It is going to take that long. At the rate I read, maybe I should take 2.
