Parents are the main problem. Ultimate responsibility for raising and educating children is the parents. Don't blame crappy teachers ( they are crappy by the way ). If you want your kids to be able to read, teach them to read. My daughter was reading at 3, at a level above what I saw her classmates had in first grade. I was a working dad, and I read to her every chance I got, and even some math. We need to value education more as a society.
Wow, I find myself so mad about our educational system, that I can't think straight enough to continue...... I'm going to go curse now
