How about you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink it.
Yes, there is something to that. Speaking as a parent, kids love predictable and enjoyable routines. After they pick up their rooms and have their baths, let them pick out some books to read and read to your children every night. No matter how tired you may be, read to them. Both my kids had dozens and dozens of books, picked up on the cheap at garage sales for 5-10 cents. Little Golden Books. They love it to bits and the first thing they would do before a road trip was stuff their little "book bags" to take along. I'm driving down the road and both of them in the backseat in their car seats are chattering away as they read out loud to themselves or anyone listening.
It is always the parents responsibility to guide the children along the proper path of life. Barring some physical or learning disability, if a child can not read it is on YOU the PARENT, not the school.
I am reminded of the true story told of the gentleman who had been a California math teacher for a decade, and came to admit one day to his wife....he couldn’t read.
He reached some level in elementary school where they just passed you. In high school, he excelled at baseball, and was offered a scholarship. College never tested him or asked any questions. He did exceptionally well at math, and cheated enough on regular classes to pass.....getting a degree in four years. Then he amazed himself....he got a job as a math teacher. No trouble with numbers. Students learned via his method. After he married, he eventually came to admit his issue with the wife, and she got him into a night-time class. Back in the late 1990s, he wrote his life-story.
