A neuropsychologist that has tested my daughter told me that on average a elementary aged child only reads an average of 8 minutes a day in school. That is totally ridiculous.

My children read more than that in the bathroom every day! I'm always having to collect library books from behind the toilet and under the bathmat ("I don't know who left that there, Mom! I wasn't reading int the bathroom!"). It's annoying.

That is ridiculous. Do you ever wonder why public school children, I'd say past the 4th grade, are curious about so very little? Do you suppose the curiosity has been bored out of them by their public school experiences? They aren't graduating high school as educated learners so much as they seem to be on auto-pilot.
