Do we KNOW?

Are you SURE?

We talk like we are sure and that we know. But, I'm thinking "not so much". I'm thinking "those who like to read" are like "those who like sports" or "those who like hunting and fishing".

There are poor people who love to read. There are people who had parents that weren't readers who love to read.

And vice versa. Parents who read beget kids who don't.

I was born a reader. Even my love of watching tv and playing video games never kept me from also reading.

My sister is not a reader. Never has been (I mean, she CAN read).

I think schools should foster the OPPORTUNITY for kids to not only learn to read but learn to LOVE reading. I just don't think it's really anything about the schools as to whether or not a particular kids comes to love reading.

But, I could be wrong. What say you
