There's a presentation by Stephen Krashen where he talks about the latest research he wrote about in his book, "The Power of Reading".[0] He addresses the problem of education and the ways it is being done. One really important remark he has made was that one of the biggest differences between children of well off families and others less fortunate is the availability of books: kids of comfortable families have access to more books since they are very young, contrary to their peers. The more important remark is the follow up: libraries tend to offset the impact of economic differences. It's an interesting talk.
