Allow me to explain how I couldn't read till third grade. The public school system was so screwed up, there was no fixxing it. My mother spent a summer with me teaching me to read. According to the what the school said, my reading level went from second grade reading failure, to junior high level reading in one summer.

With the love and wisdom of my parents, managed to be one of the few, who received home schooling, and public education (any wonder Ma-Ha Rush calls them scruels). America needs to wake up to the fact that schools indoctrinate, they don't teach!

Why is this the fault of the public schools? Obviously you mother was capable of teaching you to read, so why did she wait until you were in 2nd grade to do so?

My daughter was reading at 5th grade level when she entered kindergarten.
