I was asked by a reporter for my thoughts on sex education in junior high. My response was, "I think it should be in grammar school. If they taught sex the same way they teach reading by the time kids reached puberty they wouldn't want to do it."
I was involved in a reading improvement program for adults, all were high school graduates, who were functionally illiterate. After the program, some of the students could read faster and, more importantly, easier and they started reading for both work and pleasure.
