I was behind in reading in the 2nd grade. And was put in a special class everyday to read Jack and Jane and Spot the dog books. I got a treat for completing the books.

My kids fell behind and the school just kept letting it happen. Had to get private tutors and read to them. Even then their school literally just reported back that they were falling behind. Whilst doing nothing.

This was a charter school that I couldn’t get them out of due to an angry ex. Kids today are at a disadvantage. We’re not investing in them. (Ranting)
