[stylist] Blind and segregation

[LoriStay at aol.com]

A big part of the problem is television.   Also, if parents don't read, kids 
won't either.   And frankly, parents these days are home so infrequently that 
kids have no idea what they read.

I was a stay at home mom because I saw what a working mom did to me.   
Melodie read just about everything I ever wrote, and Rachel would listen on tape so 
she could fall asleep if I was too busy to read to her.   (She was an audio 
learner, probably because of ambliopia, before we corrected it).   Both girls 
are now readers.   Rachel teaches special Ed, and Melodie teaches her children, 
most of whom learned to read before entering Kindergarten.   It all starts in 
the home.
