I don’t think that schools are really for learning. They are for watching and controlling kids, socializing kids, and introducing kids to educational materials all while parents go to work. Learning happens at home. Parents or guardians are the answer (or origination) to this problem. I might be out on a limb, but if you are posting on this site, you were likely reading before you started kindergarten or soon thereafter. Your parents most likely taught you to read. Research shows that kids that aren’t reading by third grade are not likely to ever really learn to read.
