Why Can't Johnny Read?

Because Johnny's parents don't give a shit.

Because Johnny's teacher has been teaching for thirty years and she's jaded,

or

Because Johnny's teacher just graduated from college (657th in his/her class) and wants a job with summers off.

Because Johnny has an XBox, a GameBoy Advance, and 36 million dollars worth of electronic distraction in his home so he can't focus on homework.

If we aren't careful, we will raise a generation of morons who, while technologically advanced, will believe any damn thing their government tells them (like WMDs, Global Warming, immigration laws should be more liberal, etc.).

For the love of Mike (hi mike), teach your kids to think, and please take an interest in their education.
